Platinum-group element (PGE) deposits in the Bushveld Complex and other layered
intrusions form when large, incompletely solidified magma chambers undergo central …

Abstract The Paleoproterozoic Bushveld Complex, including the world's largest layered
intrusion and host to world-class stratiform chromium, platinum group element, and …

The Vergenoeg fluorite deposit in the Bushveld Complex in South Africa is hosted by a
volcanic pipe-like body. The distribution characteristics, composition and formation …

Layered intrusions crystallize mainly from basaltic magma to form large bodies of igneous
rocks that exhibit prominent layering and they preserve stunning rock records of the …

Elevated oxygen isotope values in igneous rocks are often used to fingerprint supracrustal
alteration or assimilation of material that once resided near the surface of the earth. The δ 18 …

Mafic sills occur within and in the vicinity of the Thabazimbi iron ore deposit, near the
northern edge of the western limb of the Bushveld Complex. The sills are hosted in the 2.46 …

We use the Hf isotope composition of zircon from the Bushveld Complex to better
understand the source of its parent magmas. The data set, which consists of 141 individual …

270 between 800 and 1200 AD, with modern exploration and mining starting from 1916. The
first production of high-grade banded iron formation-hosted ore commenced in 1931 from …

It is generally accepted that carbon isotope variations in seawater were muted between c.
2.06 Ga, after the end of the Lomagundi carbon isotope excursion (LCIE), and c. 1.3 Ga …

Abstract The layered Bushveld Complex hosts a number of chromitite layers, which were
found to contain significant amounts of zircon grains compared with adjacent silicate rocks …
