Major, trace, and isotopic compositions of plagioclase megacrysts from plagioclase ultraphyric basalts (PUB) from multiple mid‐ocean ridges were determined to characterize the liquid compositions from which they were derived.

Syn-kinematic hydration reactions, grain size reduction, and dissolution–precipitation creep in experimentally deformed plagioclase–pyroxene mixtures [PDF]
It is widely observed that mafic rocks are able to accommodate high strains by viscous flow. Yet, a number of questions concerning the exact nature of the involved deformation mechanisms continue to be debated.

Elasticity of plagioclase feldspars [PDF]
AbstractElastic properties are reported for eight plagioclase feldspars that span compositions from albite (NaSi3AlO8) to anorthite (CaSi2Al2O8). Surface acoustic wave velocities measured using Impulsive Stimulated Light Scattering and compliance sums from high‐pressure X‐ray compression studies accurately determine all 21 components of the elasticity ...

Miarolitic cavities in rapakivi granite on Hästholmen, Loviisa, southeastern Finland [PDF]
Miarolitic cavities are described from drill cores taken from rapakivi granite on Hästholmen, an island about 80 km east of Helsinki. The distribution of cavities between different textural types of rapakivi seems to favour the equigranular medium to ...

Hydrogen incorporation in plagioclase [PDF]
We conducted experiments at high pressure (P) and temperature (T) to measure hydrogen solubility in plagioclase (Pl) with a range of compositions (An15 to An94). Experiments were run at 700-850 °C, 0.5 GPa, and f O 2 close to either the Ni-NiO (NNO) or iron-wüstite (IW) oxygen buffers.

Partitioning of barium between coexisting K-feldspars and plagioclase in the Bushveld granites from the Zaaiplaats area, South Africa [PDF]
The barium contents of the coexisting K-feldspars and plagioclases in the Bushveld granites from the Zaaiplaats tin mine area were determined by electron microprobe analyses.

Petrology, geochemistry, source and tectonic setting of Malek Chah Ruii granitoid (East of Lut Block) [PDF]
The Malek Chah Rouii granitoid pluton is exposed within the Deh-Salm metamorphic complex in the eastern margin of the Lut zone. The studied granitoid with peraluminous and calc-alkaline nature is composed of tonalite, granodiorite, and granite (monzo ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
