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

PGE mineralization has been identified in various rock types and at various stratigraphic
levels in layered intrusions of any age, size and magmatic lineage, but the most important …

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

Silicate liquid immiscibility in basalt petrogenesis is a contentious issue. Immiscible iron-and
silica-rich liquids were reported in melt inclusions of lunar basalt and in groundmass glasses …

Abstract The Pliocene El Laco volcano (northern Chile) hosts a large iron oxide deposit that
occurs as stratiform bodies with underlying feeder zones (dykes) hosted by hydrothermally …

During a period of 82 years (1931–2013), 39 genetic terms were introduced for various
deposits. Of the 39 terms, only ten are meaningful in understanding the true depositional …

In the present paper, we have compiled data on 565 layered and differentiated igneous
intrusions globally, documenting their (i) location,(ii) age,(iii) size,(iv) geotectonic setting,(v) …

Most deposits of platinum group elements (PGE), chromite, and vanadiferous magnetite
occur in mafic intrusions. Several represent some of the most laterally continuous and …

Layering is a common feature in mafic and ultramafic layered intrusions and generally
consists of a succession of layers characterized by contrasted mineral modes and/or mineral …

Concentration patterns of platinum-group elements (PGE) in the Lower, Critical and Main
Zones of the Bushveld Complex are modelled by a process of metal collection by …
