The alkaline lamprophyres of the Dolomitic Area (Southern Alps, Italy): markers of the Late Triassic change from orogenic-like to anorogenic magmatism
Federico Casetta,Ryan B. Ickert,Darren F. Mark,Darren F. Mark,Costanza Bonadiman,Pier Paolo Giacomoni,Theodoros Ntaflos,Massimo Coltorti +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first complete petrological, geochemical and geochronological characterization of the oldest lamprophyric rocks in Italy, which crop out around Predazzo (Dolomitic Area), with the aim of deciphering their relationship with Triassic magmatic events across the whole of the Southern Alps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Petrological evolution of the Middle Triassic Predazzo Intrusive Complex, Italian Alps
TL;DR: The Predazzo Intrusive Complex (PIC) as discussed by the authors is a Ladinian plutonic body located in the Southern Alps (NE Italy), made up of a 4.5 km3 gabbroic to syenitic and syenogranitic intrusion, basaltic to latitic volcanic products (about 6 km3 in volume) and by an extended dike swarm intruding both intrusive and volcanic rocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrusion of shoshonitic magmas at shallow crustal depth: T–P path, H2O estimates, and AFC modeling of the Middle Triassic Predazzo Intrusive Complex (Southern Alps, Italy)
Federico Casetta,Massimo Coltorti,Ryan B. Ickert,Costanza Bonadiman,Pier Paolo Giacomoni,Theodoros Ntaflos +5 more
TL;DR: The multi-pulse shoshonitic Predazzo intrusive complex represents an ideal igneous laboratory for investigating the chemical and physical conditions of magma emplacement in a crustal context as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Skaros effusive sequence at Santorini (Greece): Petrological and geochemical constraints on an interplinian cycle
Gabriele Lanzafame,Gabriele Lanzafame,Federico Casetta,Pier Paolo Giacomoni,Sandro Donato,Sandro Donato,Lucia Mancini,Massimo Coltorti,Theodoros Ntaflos,Carmelo Ferlito +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic sampling of the basaltic to dacitic lavas erupted by the interplinian volcanic centre of Skaros, active between 67 and 54 years, was conducted to reconstruct the petrological evolution of the volcanic centre.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon concentration increases with depth of melting in Earth’s upper mantle
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors find that the levels of carbon enrichment in magmatic gases correlate with the trace element signatures of corresponding volcanic rocks, implying a mantle source control, and they use this global association to estimate that the mean carbon concentration in the upper mantle, down to 200 km depth, is approximately 350ppm (range 117-669ppm).
