Abstract The role of sub‐arc mantle lithosphere in the build‐up of a batholith is an outstanding issue that is still not well resolved. Lamproite is a mantle‐derived magmatic rock that provides a window to learn the composition and the enrichment processes of subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM).

Natural evidence for garnet-spinel transition (GST) in the Earth's mantle [PDF]
This study based on compiled world-wide garnet peridotite data confirms the GST in high P and T conditions, which was obtained from Al-free experimental system (MgO-Cr~2~O~3~-SiO~2~) by Klemme (2004). A new spinel-phase peridotite zone, garnet peridotite

Growth and Chemical Evolution of the Kohistan Arc Crust, Northern Pakistan, Western Himalayas
Abstract Fossil arcs which expose the middle‐lower crust have the potential to shed light on active arc processes because magmatic rocks from the entire history of the arc can be examined. We present new geochemical data from the middle crust of the Kohistan Arc and use existing geochemical and geochronological literature data from this arc to ...

Petrophysical and geochemical characterization of the late-variscan Santa Eulália Plutonic Complex (Ossa-Morena Zone, Portugal) [PDF]
The Santa Eulália Plutonic Complex (SEPC) is a calc-alkaline granitic body located in the northern part of the Ossa Morena Zone, composed by a medium- to coarse-grained pink granite (G0 group) involving large elongated masses of mafic (gabbroic) to ...

Early Cambrian U-Pb zircon age and Hf-isotope data from the Guasayán pluton, Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina: implications for the northwestern boundary of the Pampean arc [PDF]
An Early Cambrian pluton, known as the Guasayán pluton, has been identified in the central area of Sierra de Guasayán, northwestern Argentina. A U?Pb zircon Concordia age of 533 ± 4 Ma was obtained by LA-MC-ICP-MS and represents the first report of ...

Slab Gap‐Related Intraplate Magmatism as a Proxy of Maximum Flat Slab Extent in Patagonia
Abstract Establishing the frontal extent of ancient flat subduction events from the geologic record can be challenging. This difficulty arises because magmatic activity in the arc typically ceases during complete slab flattening, and other meaningful proxies are usually absent. To address this issue, we examine early Paleocene intraplate magmatic units
