Flotation mechanism of sulphide melt on vapour bubbles in partially molten magmatic systems
Z Yao, JE Mungall - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2020 - Elsevier
The motion of dense Fe-rich immiscible sulphide liquids is generally supposed to be
dominated by gravitational settling in crustal magma chambers, however they may become …

Redox-controlled olivine-sulfide equilibration of the Shitoukengde Ni–Cu deposit in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its implications
YJ Mao, X Zheng, T Pan, F Yuan, HL Huang… - Mineralium Deposita, 2024 - Springer
Abstract Olivine (Fo80-88) from the Shitoukengde deposit exhibits low levels of Ca, Cr, and
Al (< 220 ppm) and varying Ni content. The low Ca-Cr-Al contents in olivine and subsolidus …

Coupled Li-P zoning and trace elements of olivine from magmatic Ni-Cu deposits: implications for postcumulus re-equilibration in olivine
Olivine is an important mineral in mafic–ultramafic rocks and records various crustal and
mantle processes in basaltic magma. Generally, phosphorus (P) is immobile in olivine and …

Earth's Earliest Phaneritic Ultramafic Rocks: Mantle Slices or Crustal Cumulates?
When plate tectonics initiated remains uncertain, partly because many signals interpreted as
diagnostic of plate tectonics can be alternatively explained via hot stagnant‐lid tectonics …

Tectonics of the Isua supracrustal belt 2: Microstructures reveal distributed strain in the absence of major fault structures
Archean geological records are increasingly interpreted to indicate a≤ 3.2 Ga initiation of
plate tectonics on Earth. This hypothesis contrasts with dominant plate tectonic …

Reconstruction of magma plumbing system and regional magmatic processes via chemical and structural zoning of biotite in rhyolite from Long Valley, CA
Minerals with compositional zoning in volcanic products are widely used to decipher the
history of magmatic evolution. However, structural information, which reflects physical …
