The crustal tongue melting model and the origin of massive anorthosites

TL;DR: In this paper, the Rogaland anorthosites are associated with weakness zones in the crust which may have favored their emplacement at mid-crust levels, and it has been shown that the parent magma compositions of various anorthosite massifs lie on thermal high in relevant phase diagrams at 10-13 kbar, indicating that these magmas cannot be derived by fractionation of peridotitic mantle melts but by melting of gabbronoritic sources in the lower crust at 40-50 km depths.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sveconorwegian massif-type anorthosites and related granitoids result from post-collisional melting of a continental arc root

TL;DR: In this article, two magmatic suites were emplaced during the post-collisional evolution of the Sveconorwegian orogeny: an Anorthosite-Mangerite-Charnockite suite (AMC suite) and an hornblende-and biotite-bearing granitoids suite (HBG suite).
Journal ArticleDOI

Polybaric Fractional Crystallization of High-alumina Basalt Parental Magmas in the Egersund–Ogna Massif-type Anorthosite (Rogaland, SW Norway) Constrained by Plagioclase and High-alumina Orthopyroxene Megacrysts

TL;DR: In this article, plagioclase and high-alumina orthopyroxene megacrysts from the late Proterozoic Egersund^Ogna massif-type anorthosite were used to constrain the parental magma compositions and differentiation processes within this 30 km diameter diapir.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magma chamber processes in the Tellnes ilmenite deposit (Rogaland Anorthosite Province, SW Norway) and the formation of Fe-Ti ores in massif-type anorthosites

TL;DR: In this paper, the origin of igneous Fe-Ti oxide ores associated with massif-type anorthosites is investigated through a detailed study of the world-class Tellnes ilmenite deposit, part of the late-Proterozoic AMC series of the Rogaland Anorthosite Province (SW Norway).
Journal ArticleDOI

Diffusion controlled growth of pyroxene-bearing margins on amphibolite bands in the granulite facies of Rogaland (Southwestern Norway): implications for granulite formation

TL;DR: In the Rogaland granulites of Southern Norway, thin anhydrous pyroxene-bearing margins (5-10 mm) are observed mainly in migmatitic banded gneisses at the contact between hornblende-rich metabasites and charnockites as mentioned in this paper.
