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

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 2021

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]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2009
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]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2005
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 ...

Solid-phase transfer into the forearc mantle wedge: Rutile and zircon xenocrysts fingerprint subducting sources

open access: yes, 2022
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.

New Inferences on Magma Dynamics in Melilitite‐Carbonatite Volcanoes: The Case Study of Mt. Vulture (Southern Italy)

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2022
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

open access: yesAmerican Mineralogist, 2023
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 ...

Mapping the Structure and Metasomatic Enrichment of the Lithospheric Mantle Beneath the Kimberley Craton, Western Australia

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
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 ...

Petrology, Age, and Rift Origin of Ultramafic Lamprophyres (Aillikites) at Mount Webb, a New Alkaline Province in Central Australia

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
Diamond exploration over the past decade has led to the discovery of a new province of kimberlitic pipes (the Webb Province) in the Gibson Desert of central Australia.

Multi‐Stage Evolution of the South Australian Craton: Petrological Constraints on the Architecture, Lithology, and Geochemistry of the Lithospheric Mantle

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
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 ...

Mafic macrocrysts of ultrabasic alkaline dikes from the Mantiqueira Range, SE, Brazil: tracers of a complex plumbing system

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Geology, 2020
Macrocryst assemblages of porphyritic alkaline dikes in the Mantiqueira range (SE Brazil) are mainly composed of clinopyroxene and olivine with different origins.
