Construction and evolution of igneous bodies: Towards an integrated perspective of crustal magmatism

C Annen, JD Blundy, J Leuthold, RSJ Sparks - Lithos, 2015 - Elsevier
Field, geochronological and geophysical studies show that many igneous bodies are
emplaced incrementally, growing by accretion of successive magma sheets. The existence …

The production of granitic magmas through crustal anatexis at convergent plate boundaries

YF Zheng, P Gao - Lithos, 2021 - Elsevier
Granite petrogenesis is associated with the formation and evolution of continental crust
along convergent plate boundaries. While magmatic processes such as partial melting and …

Paleoproterozoic gabbronoritic and granitic magmatism in the northern margin of the North China Craton: evidence of crust–mantle interaction

P Peng, J Guo, M Zhai, W Bleeker - Precambrian Research, 2010 - Elsevier
Paleoproterozoic Xuwujia gabbronorites in the northern margin of the North China craton
occur as dykes, sills and small plutons intruded into khondalite (aluminous paragneisses …

Magma addition and flux calculations of incrementally constructed magma chambers in continental margin arcs: Combined field, geochronologic, and thermal …

SR Paterson, D Okaya, V Memeti… - …, 2011 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Incrementally constructed magma systems have been recognized from studies of the

Structure of volcano plumbing systems: A review of multi-parametric effects

A Tibaldi - Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2015 - Elsevier
Magma is transported and stored in the crust mostly through networks of planar structures
(intrusive sheets), ranging from vertical dykes to inclined sheets and horizontal sills, and …

Implications of incremental emplacement of magma bodies for magma differentiation, thermal aureole dimensions and plutonism–volcanism relationships

C Annen - Tectonophysics, 2011 - Elsevier
Field observations and geophysical data indicate that many igneous bodies grow by
amalgamation of successive magma pulses that commonly take the shape of horizontal …

Physical controls and depth of emplacement of igneous bodies: A review

T Menand - Tectonophysics, 2011 - Elsevier
The formation and growth of magma bodies are now recognised as involving the
amalgamation of successive, discrete pulses such as sills. Sills would thus represent the …

Growth of plutons by incremental emplacement of sheets in crystal-rich host: Evidence from Miocene intrusions of the Colorado River region, Nevada, USA

CF Miller, DJ Furbish, BA Walker, LL Claiborne… - Tectonophysics, 2011 - Elsevier
Growing evidence supports the notion that plutons are constructed incrementally, commonly
over long periods of time, yet field evidence for the multiple injections that seem to be …

Zircon and titanite recording 1.5 million years of magma accretion, crystallization and initial cooling in a composite pluton (southern Adamello batholith, northern Italy)

U Schaltegger, P Brack, M Ovtcharova… - Earth and Planetary …, 2009 - Elsevier
The southern part of the Adamello batholith (the so-called “Re di Castello unit”) is an
example of a composite pluton, ranging from gabbro to granodiorite in composition. U–Pb …
