Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal venting of greenhouse gases triggering Early Jurassic global warming
Henrik Svensen,Sverre Planke,Luc Chevallier,Anders Malthe-Sørenssen,Fernando Corfu,Bjørn Jamtveit +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new type of geological structures, termed breccia pipes, rooted in the aureoles within the shale of the Western Karoo Basin, were found to be formed due to gas pressure build-up during metamorphism of the shales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and evolution of hydrothermal vent complexes in the Karoo Basin, South Africa
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model in which hydrothermal vent complexes originate in contact metamorphic aureoles around sill intrusions, leading to the collapse of the surrounding sedimentary strata.
Journal ArticleDOI
How are saucer‐shaped sills emplaced? Constraints from the Golden Valley Sill, South Africa
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of detailed field observations and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility measurements (AMS) were used to identify strain markers that can be interpreted in terms of magma flow directions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fracturing of doleritic intrusions and associated contact zones: Implications for fluid flow in volcanic basins
Kim Senger,Kim Senger,Simon J. Buckley,Luc Chevallier,Ake Fagereng,Olivier Galland,Tobias H. Kurz,Kei Ogata,Sverre Planke,Jan Tveranger +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated a series of outcrops from the Karoo Basin of the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, where the siliciclastic Burgersdorp Formation has been intruded by various intrusions (thin dykes, mid-sized sheet intrusions and thick sills).
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen geochemistry as a tracer of fluid flow in a hydrothermal vent complex in the Karoo Basin, South Africa
Henrik Svensen,Gray E. Bebout,Andreas Kronz,Long Li,Sverre Planke,Luc Chevallier,Bjørn Jamtveit +6 more
TL;DR: This paper investigated the relationship between light element release during metamorphism and vertical fluid migration in contact metamorphic aureoles and hydrothermal vent complexes in the Karoo Basin in South Africa.
