LIP printing is a term adapted from forensic science to describe the use of geochemical
proxies for tectonic and petrogenetic fingerprinting of Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs). Here …

Basalt geochemistry can be used as a diagnostic indicator for determining the tectonic
setting of origin, because specific plate tectonic settings often impart distinctive geochemical …

Ophiolites are suites of temporally and spatially associated ultramafic, mafic, and felsic rocks
that are interpreted to be remnants of ancient oceanic crust and upper mantle. Ophiolites …

Although widely used, classification schemes for granitic rocks have until now failed to
separate slab failure from arc magmatism in collisional orogens. Our previous work showed …

Boninites are rare, high-Si, high-Mg, low-Ti lavas that have considerable tectonic
significance, especially for recognizing and interpreting episodes of subduction initiation in …

An early Paleozoic ophiolitic mélange has recently been documented in the west Gangma
Co area, north-central Tibetan Plateau. It is composed of serpentinite, isotropic and …

Tectonic discrimination diagrams are a key tool for understanding ancient volcanic rock
origins. In this contribution we compile over 15,000 whole rock compositions to re-evaluate …

Ophiolites, which represent segments of oceanic lithosphere obducted onto the continental
crust, provide an important window into processes such as continental rifting, mantle …

We present here a global geochemical dataset from one hundred-and-five greenstone
sequences, ranging in age from the Eoarchean through the Archean and Proterozoic Eons …

We combine a geological, geochemical and tectonic dataset from 118 ophiolite complexes
of the major global Phanerozoic orogenic belts with similar datasets of ophiolites from 111 …
