Sr-Nd isotopic analyses on some mantle xenolith samples from the Northern, Southern and Austral Andean volcanic zones exhibit radiogenic Sr enrichment without dramatic changing of the Nd isotopic composition. This anomalous ...

There has been little research on geochemistry and isotopic compositions in tholeiites of the Northern region from the Paraná Continental Flood Basalts (PCFB), one of the largest continental provinces of the world. In order ...

We propose that strain localization in plate interiors, such as linear belts of intraplate seismicity, may arise from spatial ariations in iscous anisotropy produced by preferred orientation of oliine crystals (CPO or ...

© 2018 The AuthorsContinental arcs display episodic magmatism characterized by flare-ups and lulls. Models published to explain these patterns invoke (1) upper plate crustal processes driven by internal feedback; (2) ...

We present models for the upper-mantle velocity structure beneath SE and Central Brazil using independent tomographic inversions of P- and S-wave relative arrival-time residuals (including core phases) from teleseismic ...

We present mineral chemistry and whole rock major, trace, and platinum group element (PGE) concentrations, and Re-Os isotope data for eighteen mantle xenoliths carried to the surface of southern Patagonia (45 degrees-52 ...

The oxidation state of the Earth's mantle and its partial melting products exert a key control on the behavior and distribution of sulfur and chalcophile and siderophile elements between the mantle and crust, underpinning ...

The origin of the Parana Continental Flood Basalts (PCFB), which constitute one of largest magmatic provinces in the world, remains a very controversial subject, particularly whether melts are sourced in the mesosphere ...
