Abstract Seafloor basalt samples recovered from the Caroline Basin (CB), the Parece Vela Basin (PVB), and the Western Philippine Sea Plate (WPSP) are analyzed for whole‐rock major and trace elements (including H2O), Sr‐Nd‐Pb‐Hf isotopes and 40Ar‐39Ar age‐dating.

Abstract The cratonic lithospheric mantle records complex metasomatic processes and is frequently tapped by alkaline magmatism, offering a unique opportunity to trace the progressive evolution of the mantle. In the present contribution, we investigate a newly identified calc‐alkaline lamprophyre field from the Neoarchean Jonnagiri Schist Belt, Eastern ...

Mineral dissolution in silicate melts
Quartz and orthopyroxene in mafic rocks are commonly observed to be surrounded by fringes of granular pyroxene, and of olivine and clinopyroxene, respectively. This study reproduces the conditions of formation of these textures, and investigates their

Abstract The origin of orthogonally spreading ridge segments separated by oceanic transform faults, versus obliquely spreading ridge segments without transform faults (TFs), is a long‐standing enigma of plate tectonics. We address this problem using three‐dimensional (3D) geodynamic models that simulate axial magmatic intrusions along two ridge ...

Abstract At slow‐spreading mid‐ocean ridges large scale detachment faults partly accommodate the spreading process. The mafic and ultramafic rocks at the ridges are infiltrated by water and change their mineralogy. Subsequently or contemporaneously to these reactions, detachment faulting takes place.

Abstract Deformation along oceanic transform faults is partitioned between seismic and aseismic slip, controlled by lithology, thermal structure, and fluid circulation. We analyze one year of data from a 54‐station ocean bottom seismometer network deployed across the Blanco Transform Fault (BTF), Northeast Pacific.

Kimberlite hosts two populations of olivine that are distinguished on the basis of grain size and morphology; the populations are commonly described genetically as xenocrysts and phenocrysts.

Abstract We investigate shear‐wave splitting of SKS and SKKS phases from teleseismic earthquakes to study the anisotropic structure of the lithosphere and upper mantle beneath the Colombian Andes. This area is shaped by complex interactions between the subducting Nazca and Caribbean plates beneath the South American plate. A recent broadband deployment
