Provenance Reassessment of Eocene Turbidites, New Caledonia: Inferences for Obduction Models
Abstract Provenance of pre‐obduction Eocene turbidites from New Caledonia is used to better constrain their geodynamic context and inform debate on subduction polarity. Chemical compositions of detrital clinopyroxenes in arenites are compared against potential sources.

Abstract The formation, storage, and evolution of granitic magmas are fundamental processes driving the growth of continental crust. While traditionally attributed to crystal fractionation in high‐melt fraction magma chambers, the model invoking low‐melt fraction crystal mushes has gained wide acceptance.

Characteristics of ∼40 Ma Mafic Rocks in North Tibet and Their Tectonic Implications
Abstract Several magmatic belts are present in the Tibetan Plateau. Among these, the Qiangtang magmatic belt in North Tibet remains elusive. In particular, the petrogenesis, magma source, and tectonic implications of the ultramafic to mafic rocks in the North Qiangtang area are underinvestigated due to their sparsity and remoteness.

Abstract The southwest region of Western Australia is one of the oldest continental regions on Earth, hosting the Archean Yilgarn Craton, bounded by the Proterozoic Albany‐Fraser and Pinjarra orogens. Here we calculate shear wave splitting of the PKS and SKS teleseismic phases using new broadband arrays with unprecedented station spacing across the ...

Abstract The King's Trough cuts into an area of thickened oceanic crust associated with the 45°N melting anomaly at the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge. Here we present a comprehensive geochemical data set and new 40Ar/39Ar age and bathymetric data from magmatic rocks from the King's Trough and the smaller Peake and Freen Deeps to the east and from the Gnitsevich ...
