During the Cenozoic widespread anorogenic magmatism, unrelated to recent supra-
subduction zone modification of its mantle source, developed within the Mediterranean and …

The central-western Mediterranean area is a key region for understanding the complex
interaction between igneous activity and tectonics. In this review, the specific geochemical …

Italian Plio-Quaternary magmatism exhibits a very wide petrological, geochemical and
radiogenic-isotope variability, which makes magma genesis and geodynamic significance …

The Earth's lithosphere can focus basaltic magmatism along pre-existing weakness zones or
discontinuities. However, apart from the influence on the geochemistry of magmas emplaced …

The Mesozoic southern branch of the Neo-Tethys Ocean was located between the Arabian
shield and the Sanandaj–Sirjan continental block of Iran. The Kermanshah ophiolitic …

The only historic eruptions of potassic basalts on the Earth reported so far took place in 1719–
1721 AD in the Wudalianchi area of northeast China. These historic potassic basalts are …

Various hypotheses for the origin of alkaline sodic mafic magmas have been proposed. This
diversity of models is mainly related to the various constraints used to develop them. The …

We report new petrological, geochemical and geochronological data from the Misho Mafic
Complex (NW Iran), which represents a significant component of the West Cimmerian …

We present an overview of the geology, geochemistry and petrogenesis of continental
margin ophiolites (CMO), which represent the lithospheric remnants of riftgenerated paleo …

Intraplate basaltic volcanism commonly exhibits wide compositional ranges from silica-
undersaturated alkaline basalts to silica-saturated tholeiitic basalts. Possible mechanisms …
