Distribution of Fenitized Crustal Xenoliths in Carbonatite Intrusions, West-Central Arkansas [PDF]
, 1981 Crustal xenoliths from carbonatite intrusions in the Morrilton-Perryville Arkansas area display a variety of mineralogical and textural features that suggest that they are fragments of basement crystalline rock that has undergone sodic metasomatism ...

Contrasting mechanisms for crustal sulphur contamination of mafic magma: evidence from dyke and sill complexes from the British Palaeogene Igneous Province [PDF]
, 2018 This is the final version of the article. Available from the Geological Society via the DOI in this record.he addition of crustal sulphur to magma can trigger sulphide saturation, a process fundamental to the development of some Ni–Cu–PGE deposits.

Helium and strontium isotopes in ultramafic xenoliths
Chemical Geology, 1986 Abstract The isotopic compositions of He and Sr have been obtained for suites of ultramafic xenoliths brought to the surface by Recent volcanic eruptions in continental environments. Samples include a range of petrologic types from Lashaine, Eledoi and Pello Hill (Tanzania), Bullenmerri maar (Victoria, Australia), Puy Beaunit (Massif Central, France)

Back-reacted saponite in Jurassic mudstones and limestones intruded by a Tertiary sill, Isle of Skye [PDF]
, 2005 The Lón Ostatoin stream section, Trotternish Peninsula, Isle of Skye, exposes a sequence of Middle Jurassic mudstones and limestones which have been locally metasomatized by a transgressive sill of Tertiary age. Limestones in the sequence, including some

Continental Basalts and Mantle Xenoliths
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1985 In this decade of the International Lithosphere Program, much scientific attention is being directed toward the deep continental crust and subadjacent mantle. The petrologic, geochemical, and isotopic signatures of basaltic magmas, which transect much of the lithosphere as they ascend from their site of melting, and of contained cognate and accidental ...

Shoshonitic enclaves in the high Sr/Y Nyemo pluton, southern Tibet: Implications for Oligocene magma mixing and the onset of extension of the southern Lhasa terrane [PDF]
, 2020 Post-collisional potassic and high Sr/Y magmatism in the Lhasa terrane provides critical constraints on the timing and mechanism of subduction of Indian lithosphere and its role in the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 17, 16 September 2025.Abstract The subduction of the Chile Ridge beneath South America beginning 12–16 Myr ago opened a gap in the subducting slab beneath southern Patagonia, which migrated northward and is located today at 46°S. Geodynamic processes associated with the slab window are poorly understood.

Raising the Roof of the World: Intra‐Crustal Asian Mantle Supports the Himalayan‐Tibetan Orogen
Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract The Himalayan‐Tibetan orogen formed via the ongoing collision of India and Asia. Its colossal elevations stem from buoyant crustal roots that doubled in thickness during continental collision, widely believed to result from Indian crust under‐thrusting its Asian counterpart and Asian crustal thickening. However, a single crustal layer of up to
