Early to late Neoproterozoic magmatism and magma mixing-mingling in Sri Lanka: Implications for convergent margin processes during Gondwana assembly

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated a suite of magmatic rocks from the Wanni, Kadugannawa and Highland Complexes through geological, petrological, geochemical and zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotopic techniques.

Neoproterozoic arc accretion along the ‘eastern suture’ in Sri Lanka during Gondwana assembly

TL;DR: In this article, the boundary between the Highland (HC) and Vijayan (VC) complexes is defined as the eastern suture in Sri Lanka, which is the boundary of the Gondwana supercontinent.

Early Neoproterozoic arc magmatism in the Lützow-Holm Complex, East Antarctica: Petrology, geochemistry, zircon U–Pb geochronology and Lu–Hf isotopes and tectonic implications

TL;DR: The results of as mentioned in this paper suggest that the magmatic arcs in the Lutzow-Holm Complex (LHC) during Early Neoproterozoic collage of the Neo-Neoprote continent formed under a volcanic arc, which was formed by felsic to intermediate arc magmas.

Chemical and isotopic systematics of oceanic basalt : implications for mantle composition and processes

S. S. Sun
TL;DR: In this article, trace-element data for mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts are used to formulate chemical systematics for oceanic basalts, interpreted in terms of partial-melting conditions, variations in residual mineralogy, involvement of subducted sediment, recycling of oceanic lithosphere and processes within the low velocity zone.

The composition of the Earth

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the relative abundances of the refractory elements in carbonaceous, ordinary, and enstatite chondritic meteorites and found that the most consistent composition of the Earth's core is derived from the seismic profile and its interpretation, compared with primitive meteorites, and chemical and petrological models of peridotite-basalt melting relationships.

Trace element discrimination diagrams for the tectonic interpretation of granitic rocks

TL;DR: In this article, a data bank containing over 600 high quality trace element analyses of granites from known settings was used to demonstrate using ORG-normalized geochemical patterns and element-SiO2 plots that most of these granite groups exhibit distinctive trace element characteristics.
