This paper presents a set of new SHRIMP zircon U–Pb geochronological, elemental and Sr– Nd–Pb isotopic data for the Wusu and Yaxuanqiao basaltic rocks (the Mojiang area) along …
It is unclear why the Pb, Nd, and Sr isotopic composition of the modern mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) from the Indian Ocean is different from that of the North Atlantic and Pacific …
Ophiolites are rock assemblages recognized as relict fragments of oceanic crust and upper mantle. They provide insights into petrologic and seismic layering of in situ oceanic …
