Emeishan - Open Access .click

Lithos, 2005
In recent years, there have been major advances in our understanding of the Emeishan large igneous province (LIP) of SW China following publication of a number of LIP-focused investigations of the terrain and associated rocks. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge. The volcanic and upper-intrusive portion of the province is relatively small

Geodynamic Significances of the Emeishan Basalts

Earth Science Frontiers, 2009
Abstract The Emeishan large igneous province has been suggested to be formed from mantle plumes; yet, the plume formation is debated. Radiometric dating showed that the main phase of the Emeishan basalts (EBs) occurred at ∼260 Ma, corresponding to the end-Guadalupian mass extinction.

Late Permian Emeishan Flood Basalts in Southwestern China

Earth Science Frontiers, 2007
Abstract Current debates over mantle plumes are centered on three assumptions namely: (1) cylindrical thermally anomalous materials which arise from the core mantle boundary; (2) high temperature of mantle plumes; (3) mantle plumes are stationary. A full test of the validity of these assumptions requires a comprehensive evaluation using techniques ...
