Nature of the Mantle Plume Under the Emeishan Large Igneous Province: Constraints From Olivine‐Hosted Melt Inclusions of the Lijiang Picrites

open access: yes, 2021
Olivine-hosted melt inclusions have the potential to provide direct evidence about the nature of the mantle sources of magmas. In this study, we report the major and trace element and Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotope compositions of the Lijiang picrites from the ...

Lithostratigraphy, geology and geochemistry of the Tertiary volcanic rocks on Svartenhuk Halvø and adjoining areas, West Greenland

open access: yesGEUS Bulletin, 2022
The Palaeogene volcanic succession in the northern part of the Nuussuaq Basin in West Greenland comprises three formations: the Vaigat and Svartenhuk Formations of Paleocene age (61–58 Ma) and the Naqerloq Formation of Eocene age (57–54 Ma).

Mantle Potential Temperature Estimates and Primary Melt Compositions of the Low-Ti Emeishan Flood Basalt

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2018
The Late Permian Emeishan large igneous province (ELIP) is considered to be one of the best examples of a mantle plume derived large igneous province. One of the primary observations that favor a mantle plume regime is the presence of ultramafic volcanic

Lithostratigraphy, geology and geochemistry of the volcanic rocks of the Vaigat Formation on Disko and Nuussuaq, Paleocene of West Greenland [PDF]

open access: yesGeological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2017
The Paleocene volcanic rocks in the Nuussuaq Basin on Disko and Nuussuaq comprise the Vaigat Formation (c. 62–61 Ma) and the Maligât Formation (c. 60 Ma). The Vaigat Formation in this area is 0–1600 m thick and is dominated by olivine-rich picrites.

Model for the origin, ascent, and eruption of lunar picritic magmas [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Mineralogist, 2017
A model for the origin, ascent, and eruption of the lunar A17 orange glass magma has been constructed using petrological constraints from gas solubility experiments and from analyses of the lunar sample 74220 to better determine the nature and origin of this unique explosive eruption. Three stages of the eruption have been identified.

Differences in composition of chromites from low-Ti and high-Ti picrites of the Emeishan large igneous province and comparison with chromites of the UG-2 platinum-deposit of the Bushveld Complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Chromite is among the first minerals to crystallize from mantle derived magmas and one of the last to be consumed during partial melting of the mantle. Chromite is also an important mineral in major ore deposits of Cr and Pt.

Picrites of the Kamchatka–Koryak Region

open access: yesRussian Journal of Pacific Geology
Based on new data on tectonic evolution of Kamchatka and Koryakia (NE Russia) chemical composition of ultramafic volcanics (picrites) are characterized. Ultramafic rocks of the studied territory are divided into two petrochemical types: 1) comparable with normal (N-MORB) and transitional to enriched (T-MORB) basaltoids of the ocean and 2) comparable ...

Petrogenesis of picrites from the Caribbean Plateau and the North Atlantic magmatic province

open access: yes, 1999
We studied the petrography, mineralogy and geochemistry of picrites from three different regions: the island of Curaçao which forms part of a Cretaceous oceanic plateau; Iceland, an active hot spot on the mid-Atlantic ridge; and the early Tertiary ...
