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

Abstract The lower Main Zone (LMZ) in the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex as
intersected by the 1563· 02 m deep Moordkopje (MO-1) drill hole shows very little large …

A key target in the study of layered intrusions is to constrain the liquid line of descent of the
magma. However, the evolution of the interstitial liquid is rarely considered, and its liquid …

We present mercury concentrations for layered mafic rocks of the Bushveld Complex, the
Skaergaard Intrusion, MORB and a Karoo dolerite sill as determined by combustion atomic …

Replacive symplectites (vermicular intergrowths of two or more minerals) are an important
feature of layered igneous intrusions, recording evidence of late-stage reactions between …

The Merensky Unit, Bushveld Complex, is commonly described using genetic terms such as
“cyclic unit”, typically without careful consideration of the connotations. We suggest that this …

The Bellevue drillcore intersects~ 3 km of Main and Upper Zone cumulates in the Northern
Limb of the Bushveld Complex. Main Zone cumulates are predominately gabbronorites, with …

Spinel-orthopyroxene symplectites are common throughout a> 1,200-m-thick sequence of
the Rustenburg Layered Suite in the Waterberg project area in the far north of the northern …

Detailed logging of relatively deep drill-core from the Akanani Project, in the northern limb of
the Bushveld Complex, South Africa, has afforded new perspectives on the Platreef and its …

Interstitial microstructures of igneous rocks provide vital information on magma evolution.
Reaction microstructures including orthopyroxene–magnetite symplectites and olivine …
