A genetic classification of the tholeiitic and calc-alkaline magma series [PDF]
The concept of the ‘magma series’ and the distinction between alkaline, calc-alkaline and tholeiitic trends has been a cornerstone in igneous petrology since the early 20th century, and encodes fundamental information about the redox state of divergent ...

High Mg# of the continental crust explained by calc-alkaline differentiation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT We used compiled geochemical data to investigate the mechanisms that control Mg# (molar ratio of Mg/(Mg + FeT)) in andesitic arc lavas. We find that andesites from mature continental arcs with crustal thickness of >45 km have systematically higher Mg# than those from oceanic arcs with crustal thickness of <30 km.

Tectonic significance of Late Precambrian calc-alkaline and alkaline magmatism in Saint Katherina Area, Southern Sinai, Egypt [PDF]
Two magmatic rock suites are distinguished in the Late Precambrian basement of the Southern Sinai (NW Arabian-Nubian Shield, Egypt), namely (a) a calc-alkaline suite, and (b) an alkaline suite.

The unique speciation of iron in calc-alkaline obsidians
Abstract Obsidians found in silicic domes and rhyolitic tuffs are an ideal system to understand the formation conditions of calc-alkaline felsic magmas. The Optical Absorption and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopic data presented in this study demonstrate that Fe-speciation in obsidians is different from that observed in other ...

Coeval calc-alkaline and alkaline Cadomian magmatism in the Bafq, central Iran: Insights into their petrogenesis [PDF]
The Chah-Gaz and Mishdovan areas in the Bafq magmatic complex, central Iran, contain thick series of terrigenous sediments (the Rizu-Dezu complex), and arc-related calc-alkaline and alkaline igneous rocks.

High-T<sub>g</sub> Polythioesters From Isomerization Ring-Opening Polymerization of a Renewable Oxanorbornane-Fused Thionolactone. [PDF]
A biobased tricyclic thionolactone undergoes selective isomerization ring‐opening polymerization to yield a high‐molecular‐weight polythioester with an exceptionally high Tg of 171°C, exceeding that of the analogous polyester. The polythioester efficiently depolymerizes through backbiting, while its hydrolysis and methanolysis reveal the critical ...

Generation of normal and adakite-like calc-alkaline magmas in a non-subductional environment: An Sr-O-H isotopic study of the Apuseni Mountains neogene magmatic province, Romania [PDF]
Neogene magmatism in the Apuseni Mountains of Romania was active between 15 and 7 Ma, with an isolated final eruption at 1.6 Ma. Several groups of magmatic rocks can be distinguished in the province on the basis of ages, trace elements and isotopic ...

Tectonic significance of changes in post-subduction Pliocene-Quaternary magmatism in the south east part of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region [PDF]
The south-eastern part of the Carpathian–Pannonian region records the cessation of convergence between the European platform/Moesia and the Tisza–Dacia microplate.
