Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
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.

Mantle transect of the Karelian Craton from margin to core based on P-T data from garnet and clinopyroxene xenocrysts in kimberlites [PDF]
Peridotitic garnet and clinopyroxene xenocrysts from the 1.2 Ga Lentiira-Kuhmo and the 760 Ma Kuusamo kimberlite fields, emplaced within the Central Karelian Craton, have been studied using major and trace element geochemistry to obtain information on ...

Rare earth element characteristics of pyrope garnets from the Kaavi-Kuopio kimberlites - implications for mantle metasomatism [PDF]
Peridotitic garnet xenocrysts from five kimberlite pipes in the Kaavi-Kuopio area of eastern Finland have been studied using major and trace element geochemistry to obtain information on the stratigraphy, compositional variability and evolutionary ...

Voluminous flux of a hydrous component from subducting oceanic lithosphere into the forearc mantle and its contribution to arc magmas have long been recognised but the transfer of solid-phase materials has received less consideration.

This study provides the first micro‐thermometric data of fluid inclusions (FIs) in mafic loose (disaggregated) xenocrysts and ultramafic xenoliths in explosive products of the melilitite‐carbonatite Mt. Vulture volcano (southern Italy).

Assimilation of xenocrystic apatite in peraluminous granitic magmas
Abstract Apatite is a ubiquitous phase in granite plutons and in most adjacent country rocks, thus contamination of a granite magma with wall-rock material results in two genetic types of apatite in the magma: cognate and foreign. These two textural and chemical varieties of apatite undergo textural and compositional changes to reach ...

The lithology, geochemistry, and architecture of the continental lithospheric mantle (CLM) underlying the Kimberley Craton of north‐western Australia has been constrained using pressure‐temperature estimates and mineral compositions for >5,000 newly ...

To improve the understanding of the formation and evolution of the sub‐continental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) underlying the South Australian Craton we have conducted a detailed petrological study on >3,000 mantle xenocrysts from 13 kimberlites emplaced ...
