LIP printing is a term adapted from forensic science to describe the use of geochemical
proxies for tectonic and petrogenetic fingerprinting of Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs). Here …

Much has been learned about Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and their database greatly
expanded since their first formal categorization in the early 1990s. This progress provides an …

Two geochemical proxies are particularly important for the identification and classification of
oceanic basalts: the Th–Nb proxy for crustal input and hence for demonstrating an oceanic …

During the mid-Cretaceous, the Earth experienced several environmental perturbations,
including an extremely warm climate and Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs). Submarine …

There is no consensus on the processes responsible for near-coeval formation of Archaean
continental crust (dominantly tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite: TTG), greenstone belts …

Basalt geochemistry can be used as a diagnostic indicator for determining the tectonic
setting of origin, because specific plate tectonic settings often impart distinctive geochemical …

A composite Tethyan Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous carbon and oxygen isotope curve is
presented. C-isotope data provide information on the evolution and perturbation of the …

Picritic lava flows near Lijiang in the late Permian Emeishan flood basalt province are
associated with augite-phyric basalt, aphyric basalt, and basaltic pyroclastic units. The …

Abstract The Early Cretaceous Ontong Java Plateau was emplaced at almost the same time
as marine biotic changes that culminated in oceanic anoxic event 1 (OAE1a). A causative …

Oceanic plateaus are mafic igneous provinces commonly thought to derive from ascending
mantle plumes. By far the largest, the Ontong Java Plateau (OJP) was emplaced ca. 120 Ma …
