Enhancement of lamproite magnetic signatures
Lamproites are peralkaline, typically ultrapotassic (6 to 8% K2O) and magnesia-rich lamprophyric rocks of volcanic or hypabyssal origin and are now considered to crystallize from a distinct type of magma. Most lamproites occur in irregular, asymmetric craters that are generally rather shallow, usually less than 300 metres in depth, often in the shape ...

Stratigraphic Revision of the Selendi, Güre, and Uşak Neogene Basins, Western Anatolia
Abstract In a re‐examination of the Neogene stratigraphy of the Uşak, Güre, and Selendi basins of western Anatolia, western Turkey, the stratigraphic position of the previously defined İnay Group is revised, which was previously considered to be of the Middle Miocene age.

Abstract Melting for the generation of intracontinental diffuse basaltic fields is generally ascribed to the effects from lithospheric dynamic processes, but how the asthenospheric dynamics influence the overlying lithosphere remains poorly known. Here, this is explored via a combined geochemical and numerical modeling study on the long‐lived Middle ...

The Argyle lamproite pipe of Western Australia contains diamonds formed at depths exceeding 150 km. We undertook noble gas and carbon isotope ratio (δ13C) analyses of three diamonds (likely of eclogitic paragenesis) from the Argyle lamproite to test ...

Abstract The temperature of the convecting mantle and thickness of the lithosphere control many of Earth's processes. However, there is disagreement regarding the evolution of these quantities through time. We use a global data set of mantle xenoliths and xenocrysts to construct paleogeotherms at different eruption ages (16–1,311 Ma) and estimate the ...

The Mesoproterozoic diamondiferous Majhgawan pipe of central India is re-examined in the light of new and recently published petrological, geochemical and isotope data. This investigation reveals that its tectonic setting is similar to that of lamproites

Rare‐Earth Mineralization in Dong Pao Deposit, Laichau Province, Vietnam
ABSTRACT The Dong Pao deposit in northern Vietnam is associated with the Paleogene Dong Pao Syenite Complex, which intruded into the limestone of the Triassic age. Although the Dong Pao deposit has been attracting exploration for decades as a promising rare earth deposit, it has not been well studied in terms of mineralization style and formation ...

Gravity field and geothermal structure of the Corsica‐Sardinia Block
Abstract This paper presents a finite‐differences 3D numerical model that simulates the gravity and thermal structure of the Corsica‐Sardinia Block (CSB), an apparently stable lithospheric domain characterized by cryptic tectonic activity. In the experiments, we change the density and heat production rate of the model crust within a range of ...

Xenolith mineralogy and geology of the Prairie Creek lamproite province, Arkansas [PDF]
Three new Arkansas lamproites were delineated and evaluated during the 1980’s. The intrusions were emplaced during the Middle Cretaceous Period based on stratigraphic relationships and published isotopic ages.

Sediment provenance in the Pacific Coast of Mexico The Salina Cruz and Puerto Ángel beach areas in the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexican Pacific coast represent an important economic sector of the region. In this study, the mineralogy and geochemistry of bulk sediments, and geochronology of 400 detrital zircons recovered from the beach sediments were ...
