An observational and thermodynamic investigation of carbonate partial melting [PDF]
Abstract Melting experiments available in the literature show that carbonates and pelites melt at similar conditions in the crust. While partial melting of pelitic rocks is common and well-documented, reports of partial melting in carbonates are rare and ambiguous, mainly because of intensive recrystallization and the resulting lack of criteria for ...

Relationships between sanukitoids and crust-derived melts and their implications for the diversity of Neoarchaean granitoids: A case study from Surmansuo and nearby areas, Eastern Finland [PDF]
We present new isotopic data (U-Pb and Sm-Nd) from the Neoarchean granitoids of the Lentua complex, which is a part of the Western Karelia subprovince of the Fennoscandian Shield.

Partial melting in an upwelling mantle column [PDF]
Decompression melting of hot upwelling rock in the mantle creates a region of partial melt comprising a porous solid matrix through which magma rises buoyantly. Magma transport and the compensating matrix deformation are commonly described by two-phase compaction models, but melt production is less often incorporated. Melting is driven by the necessity

The study of mineral chemistry of the Harzburgite in the Noorabad-Harsin ophiolite complex: Evidence from the evolution of partial melting of mantle peridotite from the deep ocean to the subduction zone [PDF]
The Noorabad-Harsin ophiolite complex as part of the Kermanshah ophiolite is located in the high Zagros zone. The ophiolitic complex from the lower part to upper part is composed of serpentinized peridotites, layered gabbro, isotropic gabbro ...

Geochemistry and petrogenesis of Ghezelhesar Quaternary alkali olivine basalt flows (NE Hamedan, Iran) [PDF]
The Ghezelhesar alkali olivine basalt flows as dark horizontal flows with about 20 m thickness covered the Quaternary deposits, 2 km southwest of Ghezelhesar village, 60 km northeast of Hamedan and in the Sanandaj-Sirjan geological and tectonic zone. The

Partial melting in the deepest mantle [PDF]
We have compared the travel times of direct (P, S) and core‐reflected (PcP, ScS) phases recorded in southern Africa from earthquakes occurring in the Scotia Arc region. The low‐velocity region beneath the south Atlantic is explored by calculating ScS‐S and PcP‐P travel‐time residuals to determine the correlation and magnitude of Vs and Vp reductions in

Revealing the timescales of metamorphic and anatectic processes is central to our understanding of tectonic evolution of collisional orogens. High‐temperature migmatites and leucogranites are well exposed in the Himalayan orogenic core, making it an ...
