Proterozoic (1.85–1.75 Ga) igneous suites of the Western Churchill Province: granitoid and ultrapotassic magmatism in a reworked Archean hinterland
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a model for rapakivi granite and porphyritic rhyolite formation in the Western Churchill Province (WCP) that may have been related to tectonic escape to the northeast.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequence stratigraphy and evolution of the Paleoproterozoic intracontinental Baker Lake and Thelon basins, western Churchill Province, Nunavut, Canada
Robert H. Rainbird,Thomas Hadlari,Lawrence B. Aspler,J. A. Donaldson,A N LeCheminant,Tony D. Peterson +5 more
TL;DR: The Baker Lake and Thelon basins of the western Churchill Province of Canada were inferred to represent the principal phase in the development of Baker Lake Basin, a series of generally elongate, northeast-striking, half-graben and fault-bounded troughs filled with continental redbeds and coeval voluminous ultrapotassic volcanic rocks, most of late Archean age as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Petrology and genesis of natrocarbonatite
TL;DR: In this paper, microprobe analyses of phenocrysts and groundmass, and crystal-size distributions of pahoehoe natrocarbonatite lavas of the 1963 Oldoinyo Lengai eruption were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ U–Pb SIMS (IN-SIMS) micro-baddeleyite dating of mafic rocks: Method with examples
Kevin R. Chamberlain,Axel K. Schmitt,Susan M. Swapp,T. Mark Harrison,Norbert G. Swoboda-Colberg,Wouter Bleeker,Tony D. Peterson,Charles W. Jefferson,Andrei K. Khudoley +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, an in situ U-Pb SIMS (IN-SIMS) method was proposed to date micro-baddeleyite crystals as small as 3μm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peralkaline nephelinites. I. Comparative petrology of Shombole and Oldoinyo L'engai, East Africa
TL;DR: Shombole, a nephelinite-carbonatite volcano in south Kenya, erupted silicate lavas, carbonatite dikes and tuffs, and pyroclastic rocks similar to those at other East African alkaline centres as mentioned in this paper.
