The Mako bimodal volcanic belt of the Kedougou-Kenieba inlier is composed of volcanic basalts and peridotites interbedded by quartzites and limestones intruded by different generations of granitoids. The early volcanic ...

The southwestern margin of the Eastern Ghats Belt characteristically exposes mafic dykes intruding massif-type charnockites. Dykes of olivine basalt of alkaline composition have characteristic trace element signatures ...

Mafic volcanism of Paleocene age was recently reported in the Valle del Cura region and the El Indio Belt in the aphanitic and very homogenous well-preserved lavas flows of the Río Frío Basalts unit. These are high-K ...

The back-arc southern Puna region (south of ~24°S) in the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes contains hundreds of Miocene to Quaternary mafic monogenetic volcanoes roughly distributed in several volcanic fields. Analysis ...

Neogene back-arc mafic volcanism in the northern Puna Plateau produced a suite of mainly high-Mg, calc-alkaline, basaltic andesites to andesites that form small scoria cones and lava fields. We present the first comprehensive ...

Despite a number of published papers focusing on the geodynamic implications of the recent Southern Puna mafic magmatism, there have been fewer studies of the volcanology and stratigraphy of this outstanding volcanism. ...

Establishing the factors that control the pathways of magma ascent is an important issue in the study of monogenic mafic volcanism since it provides information about the relationship between the source of the ascending ...
