The Earth's lithosphere can focus basaltic magmatism along pre-existing weakness zones or
discontinuities. However, apart from the influence on the geochemistry of magmas emplaced …

The origin of enriched mantle (EM) sources remains an unsolved problem for constraining
the composition and chemical evolution of the Earth's mantle, because a wealth of different …

Abstract Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 183 was designed to investigate the origin and
evolution of the large igneous province composed of the Kerguelen Plateau and Broken …

The basaltic basement of the large igneous province formed by the Kerguelen Plateau and
Broken Ridge in the southeastern Indian Ocean has been sampled by three Ocean Drilling …

To decipher the petrogenesis of chromitites from the Moho Transition Zone of the
Cretaceous Oman ophiolite, we carried out detailed scanning electron microscope and …

Many studies have addressed the Paleozoic to Triassic collisional processes along the
southern margins of the North China Craton (NCC), but little is known about the evolution of …

The origin of the Christmas Island Seamount Province in the northeast Indian Ocean is
enigmatic. The seamounts do not form the narrow, linear and continuous trail of volcanoes …

We present a combined Sr, Nd, Pb and Os isotope study of lavas and associated genetically
related megacrysts from the Biu and Jos Plateaux, northern Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) …

Late Cretaceous (66.2±0.5 Ma amphibole and 66.7±0.2 Ma phlogopite 40Ar/39Ar ages)
nephelinitic volcanic rocks from Godzilla Seamount in the eastern North Atlantic (34° N …

We measured trace element concentrations and Pb isotope compositions of fresh volcanic
glass samples from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 26° S, and from nearby off-axis seamounts …
