Two-sided asymmetric subduction; implications for tectonomagmatic and metallogenic evolution of the Lut Block, Eastern Iran [PDF]
West directed subduction zones show common characteristics, such as low structural elevation, deep trench, steep slab and a conjugate back-arc basin that are opposite to those of the east directed subduction zones.

Geochemistry and petrogenesis of volcanic rocks from Daimao Seamount (South China Sea) and their tectonic implications [PDF]
The South China Sea (SCS) experienced three episodes of seafloor spreading and left three fossil spreading centers presently located at 18°N, 17°N and 15.5°N.

The plume-dependent granite-rhyolite magmatism
The plume-dependent magmatism is widespread and well justified. The bulk of it is represented by flood basalts, basalts of oceanic islands (OIB), and basalts of oceanic plateaus (OPB), though the whole scope of plume magmatism is very diverse.

Shoshonitic enclaves in the high Sr/Y Nyemo pluton, southern Tibet: Implications for Oligocene magma mixing and the onset of extension of the southern Lhasa terrane [PDF]
Post-collisional potassic and high Sr/Y magmatism in the Lhasa terrane provides critical constraints on the timing and mechanism of subduction of Indian lithosphere and its role in the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau.

Trace element partitioning in silica-undersaturated alkaline magmatic systems
Alkaline magmatism is an important chemical end-member of magmatic activity that typically occurs in response to small volume melting of asthenospheric- and/or lithospheric mantle material in intra-continental settings. Understanding trace element partitioning and phase equilibria during alkaline magmatism can therefore provide constraints on intra ...

A precise late Permian 40Ar/39Ar age for Central Iberian camptonitic lamprohyres
The Avila batholith of central Spain is composed, predominantly, of crustal-melt peraluminous granites cut by small-scale mafic alkaline bodies. Dating of the Gredos sector mafic camptonitic lamprophyre dykes was undertaken to constrain the Late Variscan

A uniform isotopic and chemical signature of dust exported from Patagonia: Rock sources and occurrence in southern environments [PDF]
Patagonia is considered to be the most important source of dust from South America that is deposited in surrounding areas, and we present here a systematic Sr and Nd isotopic study of sediment currently being exported.

Geochemistry, Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes and geochronology of amphibole- and mica-bearing lamprophyres in northwestern Iran: Implications for mantle wedge heterogeneity in a paleo-subduction zone [PDF]
Highlights: • Northwestern Iranian lamprophyres have alkaline and calc-alkaline nature. • Studied lamprophyres are emplaced during Late Cretaceous to Late Miocene time.
