Constraining the timing of emplacement, duration and magma extrusion rates of large
igneous provinces is essential for evaluating their petrogenetic evolution and possible links …

The opening of the Equatorial and South Atlantic Oceans is still a matter of debate,
particularly as concerns the locations of the intraplate deformation. We propose here a …

Lithology describes the geochemical, mineralogical, and physical properties of rocks. It
plays a key role in many processes at the Earth surface, especially the fluxes of matter to …

The central-western Mediterranean area is a key region for understanding the complex
interaction between igneous activity and tectonics. In this review, the specific geochemical …

This article investigates how, where, and to what extent the mineralogical and chemical
composition of sand-sized sediments is modified by extreme weathering in modern …

Sourced as the Nile in distant basaltic rift highlands, the Orange River is the predominant
ultimate source of sand for the Namib Desert dunes, as proved independently by bulk …

Ion microprobe U–Pb isotopic data on zircons from the Paraná magmatic province are
presented from one tholeiitic (high-Ti Pitanga type) and three felsic volcanic rocks from the …

For over 50 years, Mesozoic tholeiites, kimberlites and carbonatites from the South
American platform have been enabled the understanding of melting processes in the Earth's …

Quantitative provenance analysis based on high-resolution bulk-petrography and heavy-
mineral data on beach and dune sands, integrated with detrital-zircon geochronology and …

Abstract The basaltic Mosquito and Sardinha formations in the Parnaíba Basin are related to
the opening of the Atlantic Ocean at the Triassic–Jurassic boundary and in the early …
