Layered intrusions are fossilized natural laboratories that historically have constrained many
fundamental principles of igneous petrology. Layered intrusions are typically stratiform …

Mineral-hosted melt inclusions have become an important source of information on
magmatic processes. As the number of melt inclusion studies increases, so does the need to …

Caldera-forming volcanic eruptions are low-frequency, high-impact events capable of
discharging tens to thousands of cubic kilometres of magma explosively on timescales of …

Inclusions of basaltic melt trapped inside of olivine phenocrysts during igneous
crystallization provide a rich, crystal-scale record of magmatic processes ranging from …

This study presents detailed petrographical and geochemical investigations on remarkably
fresh olivines in kimberlites from the EKATI Diamond Mine™ located in the …

Olivine composition and zoning patterns are widely used to reconstruct the evolution of
mafic magmas from source to surface and to extract time scales of magmatic processes …

We have studied porphyritic olivine-rich chondrules of the carbonaceous chondrite Kaba
(CV3) by combined high-resolution X-ray mapping, quantitative electron microprobe …

Phosphorus zoning in olivine is receiving considerable attention for its capacity to preserve
key information about rates and mechanisms of crystal growth. Its concentration can vary …

Undercooling and crystallization kinetics are recognized increasingly as important
processes controlling the final textures and compositions of minerals as well as the …

We investigated the external morphologies and internal compositional zoning patterns of
clinopyroxene phenocrysts in an ankaramite of Haleakala volcano (Hawaii) to constrain …
