The vertical growth rate of basaltic magma chambers remains largely unknown with
available estimates being highly uncertain. Here, we propose a novel approach to address …

Intrusions of magma induce thermal aureoles in the country rock. Analytical solutions predict
that the thickness of an aureole is proportional to the thickness of the intrusion. However, in …

We present a novel way of constraining the thickness of the crystal mush in fractionated
layered intrusions using detailed microstructural analysis. The results are combined with …

Measurements of dihedral angles at three-grain junctions in gabbros, involving two grains of
plagioclase and one grain of another mineral, demonstrate that the median dihedral angle is …

Abstract The Skaergaard intrusion of East Greenland is one of the best studied layered
intrusions on Earth and preserves an exceptional rock record produced during low-pressure …

The Skaergaard intrusion is a layered, ferrobasaltic intrusion emplaced during the Early
Eocene into the rifting volcanic margin of East Greenland. The magma chamber crystallised …

Field exposures of magma chambers tend to reveal contact metamorphic aureoles in the
surrounding crust, which width varies from few centimeters to kilometers. The igneous …

The present work reports the first anatectic melt inclusions found so far in the Mesoarchean
basement in East Greenland. Using optical microscope observations and MicroRaman …

Abstract The Eocene Skaergaard intrusion, part of the East Greenland flood basalt province,
is the type example of closed-system differentiation of basaltic magma. Studies of this …

Rochas ígneas intrusivas compõem sistemas petrolíferos ígneo-sedimentares atípicos em
bacias sedimentares. Na bacia do Parnaíba, as rochas ígneas são responsáveis pela …
