Petrologic and geochemical constraints on the petrogenesis of Permian–Triassic Emeishan flood basalts in southwestern China
The Emeishan flood basalt is a large igneous province erupted during the Permian–Triassic
period in southwestern China. Based on petrographic, major and trace element, and Sr–Nd …

Distinct mantle sources of low-Ti and high-Ti basalts from the western Emeishan large igneous province, SW China: implications for plume–lithosphere interaction
The Late Permian Emeishan large igneous province (ELIP), with an areal extent of over
500,000 km2, at the western margin of Yangtze craton, is increasingly regarded as the result …
