Basaltic magma chambers are best exemplified by layered intrusions–fossilized natural
laboratories that historically constrain most fundamental principles of igneous petrology …

Sector-zoned clinopyroxene is common in igneous rocks, but has been overlooked in the
study of magmatic processes. Whilst concentric zoning is commonly used as a record of …

The Xiarihamu mafic-ultramafic intrusion is situated in the East Kunlun Orogenic Belt (E-
KOB), northern Tibetan Plateau, China, with Ni-Co sulfide mineralization mainly in …

Late-stage microstructures developed during the last stages of solidification of the
Skaergaard intrusion comprise a wide array of reactive and non-reactive intergrowths …

Abstract The late Proterozoic Ntaka Ultramafic Complex is a body of dominantly pyroxenitic
cumulate rocks containing cyclic alternations of olivine–orthopyroxene cumulates. Chemical …

Continental intraplate basalts with a HIMU-like mantle signature in the SW Pacific (eg New
Zealand, Australia and Antarctica) have been erupted over an area of∼ 25 million km2 …

The intercumulus liquid of a crystal mush fills pore spaces, and typically solidifies to form
overgrowths on cumulus grains and poikilitic post-cumulus minerals. If the liquid is immobile …

Recent studies of arc volcanic systems have shown that major and trace element zoning in
calcic amphibole yields information about magmatic processes such as fractional …

Characterising equilibrium and disequilibrium crystal-melt processes is critical in
determining the extent of magma mixing and crystallization conditions in the roots of …

This study reports a geochemical investigation of two thick basalt sequences, exposed in the
Bracco–Levanto ophiolite (northern Apennine, Italy) and in the Balagne ophiolite (central …
