Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Translithospheric magma plumbing system fossilized in the Emeishan large igneous province

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Lighting up the magma plumbing system beneath a large igneous province (LIP) is challenging because the complex magma migration paths are often covered by flood basalts and sediments.

The Emeishan large igneous province: A synthesis

open access: yesGeoscience Frontiers, 2014
AbstractThe late Permian Emeishan large igneous province (ELIP) covers ∼0.3 × 106 km2 of the western margin of the Yangtze Block and Tibetan Plateau with displaced, correlative units in northern Vietnam (Song Da zone). The ELIP is of particular interest because it contains numerous world-class base metal deposits and is contemporaneous with the late ...

Data of thermal imprints of late Permian Emeishan basalt effusion: Evidence from zircon fission-track thermochronology [PDF]

open access: yesData in Brief, 2019
We present 271 detrital single-grain zircon fission track (ZFT) ages obtained for eight sandstones, which were sampled from the southwestern Yangtze Craton, southern China.

Extremely Weak Geomagnetic Field Following Permo‐Carboniferous Reverse Superchron and Its Geological Implications

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Superchrons represent critical phases in geomagnetic field evolution, offering insights into Earth's distinct internal states. However, the lack of research on how the longest Phanerozoic superchron (Permo‐Carboniferous Reverse Superchron, PCRS, ∼318–263

Late Guadalupian–early Lopingian marine geochemical records from the Upper Yangtze, South China: Implications for climate-biocrisis events

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Major paleoenvironmental changes occurred during the Guadalupian-Lopingian boundary (GLB) transition, but the causative linkages among the Emeishan Large Igneous Province (LIP), end-Guadalupian crisis and climatic fluctuations are still in dispute ...

A petrological experiment on Emeishan basalt: Implications for the formation of syenite from the Baima igneous complex

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2021
The Baima igneous complex (BIC) consists of a cumulate layered gabbroic unit, an Fe-Ti oxide ore zone, and an isotropic quartz syenite. The formation of the BIC is attributed to a variety of petrological processes including: silicate immiscibility ...

Crustal SiO2 Content of the Emeishan Large Igneous Province and its Implications for Magma Volume and Plumbing System

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
The Permian Emeishan large igneous province (LIP) in Southwestern China is recognized as a remnant of mantle plume activity. Its crust composition has a significant bearing on understanding the magmatic plumbing system in a LIP and the volume of magmas ...

Late Permian High-Ti Basalt in Western Guangxi, SW China and Its Link With the Emeishan Large Igneous Province: Geochronological and Geochemical Perspectives

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
High-Ti (Ti/Y) flood basalts are widely distributed in the Late Permian Emeishan large igneous province (LIP), SW China, and their spatial distribution and genetic mechanism are important to reveal the role of plume-lithosphere interactions in the LIP ...

Mantle Potential Temperature Estimates and Primary Melt Compositions of the Low-Ti Emeishan Flood Basalt

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2018
The Late Permian Emeishan large igneous province (ELIP) is considered to be one of the best examples of a mantle plume derived large igneous province. One of the primary observations that favor a mantle plume regime is the presence of ultramafic volcanic
