Abstract 40 Ar/39 Ar geochronology is one of the most important techniques for constraining the timing of basaltic events due to the paucity of suitable minerals in basalts for other …
The origin of the Eastern Mexican Alkaline Province has been explained by landward arc migration and subsequent asthenospheric upwelling after slab roll-back of the Farallon …
Deccan Traps (DT) volcanism and the Chicxulub bolide impact have been suggested as potential triggers of the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary (KPB) mass extinction. Recently …
High-MgO lamproite and lamproite-like (ie lamprophyric) ultrapotassic rocks are recurrent in the Mediterranean and surrounding regions. They are associated in space and time with …
Continental flood basalt (CFB) provinces, while dominated by tholeiitic basalts and basaltic andesites, often also contain alkaline mafic to felsic lavas and intrusions. The tholeiitic and …
Available geochronological information on Deccan indicates prolonged (started at 68.5 Ma) alkaline magmatism related to the Réunion mantle plume based on the 40 Ar/39 Ar ages …
The origin of silicic rocks (SiO 2> 65 wt%) in Continental Flood Basalt (CFB) provinces could be attributed to complex petrogenetic processes. The 65.5–66 Ma old Deccan Traps CFB …
Abstract The Deccan Traps continental flood basalt (CFB) province of India contains several dyke swarms, which are dominated by tholeiitic basalts and basaltic andesites. The …
