The continental crust has an andesitic bulk composition, which cannot have been produced
by the basaltic magmatism that dominates sites of present-day crustal growth—at both …

Basalts and basaltic rocks are the most abundant igneous rocks on the earth and their
petrologic and geochemical studies have formed our knowledge base on the thermal …

An upgrade of the PRIMELT algorithm for calculating primary magma composition is given
together with its implementation in PRIMELT3 MEGA. xlsm software. It supersedes …

students and practitioners The newly revised Second Edition of Igneous Rocks and …

Melting experiments on fertile peridotite KR4003, a 'pyrolitic'composition, were made from 3
to 7 GPa in piston-cylinder and multi-anvil apparatus. Temperature gradients across the …

Modeling of melt formation and transport in all tectonic settings requires the inclusion of
water, since water has large effects on mantle solidi as well as physical properties of liquids …

from a total of five sites on the crests and flanks of two serpentinite seamounts, Conical …

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 …

Geochemical tracers demonstrate that elements are cycled from subducted sediments into
the arc melting regime at subduction zones, although the transfer mechanism is poorly …

A review of experiments on natural peridotites allows improved constraints on the location of
the mantle solidus. Available constraints on the location of the nominally dry peridotite …
