Mantle-derived magmas are traditionally assumed to originate by melting of an upper mantle
consisting of uniform spinel-or garnet peridotite dominated by olivine. However, extensive …

Biotite (sensu lato) is a widespread rock‐forming mineral in magmatic rocks that can be
stable in a broad range of pressure and temperature, but appropriate biotite thermometers or …

Abstract The Eastern Australian Volcanic Province (EAVP) is a∼ 3800 km discontinuous
belt of Cenozoic mafic intraplate volcanoes along the eastern seaboard of Australia. EAVP …

Melting experiments on ultramafic rocks rich in the hydrous minerals phlogopite or
phlogopite+ K-richterite, some including 5% of accessory phases, have been conducted at …

The goal of this study is to compare compositions of high temperature silicate-carbonatite
immiscible melts, known from melt inclusions and experiments, to compositions of silica …

Sediment contribution to the mantle is the key step for the generation of orogenic
magmatism to produce its isotopic and geochemical inventory. Even though they are …

Abstract MARID (Mica-Amphibole-Rutile-Ilmenite-Diopside) and PIC (Phlogopite-Ilmenite-
Clinopyroxene) rocks are unusual mantle samples entrained by kimberlites and other …

The super-chondritic Mo isotopic composition of the continental crust has been attributed to
contributions from subducted oceanic slabs and/or sediments, which introduce isotopically …

Potassium-rich lavas with K/Na of> 2 are common in orogenic and anorogenic intraplate
magmatic provinces. However, in the primitive mantle, the concentration of Na exceeds that …

Cratonic lamproites are diamondiferous ultrapotassic rocks that are emplaced through thick
continental lithosphere and thought to derive from melting of metasomatized (ie …
