Layered intrusions are fossilized natural laboratories that historically have constrained many
fundamental principles of igneous petrology. Layered intrusions are typically stratiform …

Platinum-group element (PGE) deposits in the Bushveld Complex and other layered
intrusions form when large, incompletely solidified magma chambers undergo central …

Thanks to its magnificent exposures and extraordinarily complete sequence of strongly
differentiated rocks, the Skaergaard Intrusion has long served as a prime example of …

We report the first Nd isotopic data on the cumulate rocks of the Bushveld Complex, South
Africa. We analysed 17 whole-rock samples covering 4700 m of stratigraphy through the …

Mafic–ultramafic layered intrusions align along a N–S trending fault zone in the central part
of the late Permian Emeishan large igneous province, SW China. We present major and …

Late-stage microstructures developed during the last stages of solidification of the
Skaergaard intrusion comprise a wide array of reactive and non-reactive intergrowths …

The Si isotopic composition of Earth's mantle is thought to be homogeneous (δ30Si=−
0.29±0.08‰, 2s. d.) and not greatly affected by partial melting and recycling. Previous …

Temporal and spatial variations in the Nd isotopic compositions of Tertiary caldera-forming
rhyolite tuffs, and Cretaceous and Tertiary granites of the western USA are used as a basis …

Abstract The undeformed 564 Ma Sept Iles layered intrusion (Quebec, Canada) is a large
igneous body of c. 20 000 km3. From the base to the top, it consists of a Layered Series …

Mafic layered intrusions constitute a natural laboratory to investigate petrogenetic processes
using trace element variations in apatite chemistry. Although these intrusions are related to …
