Comparing the timing of mass extinctions with the formation age of large igneous provinces
reveals a close correspondence in five cases, but previous claims that all such provinces …

Acceptance of the theory of plate tectonics was accompanied by the rise of the mantle
plume/hotspot concept which has come to dominate geodynamics from its use both as an …

New ion microprobe U–Pb zircon ages, as well as some geochemical and isotopic analyses,

Abstract Major Cretaceous Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs, eg, Kerguelen and Ontong Java)
show Aptian magmatic peaks and are linked to global mantle overturning and anomalous …

In the discussion of the origin of continental flood basalt provinces, one of the most important
constraints is the volume of the mobilized magma. Concerning the Serra Geral Formation in …

Geochemical and chronological data for Cenozoic plutons and dikes from northern Victoria
Land (Antarctica), were used to propose a tectonic‐magmatic model for this portion of the …

Three large dike systems are exposed in the Deccan Traps flood basalt province of India:
the dominantly north–south-trending west coast swarm, the east–west-trending Narmada …

Flood basalts, large igneous provinces and all intraplate magmatism are almost
unanimously ascribed to features called mantle plumes in current geodynamics literature. In …

Deccan Trap magmas may have erupted through multiple centers, the most prominent of
