Oligoclase-andesine phenocrysts and related inclusions in basalts from part of the Nigerian Cenozoic province
TLDR
The Benue trough is a graben structure containing folded Upper Cretaceous sediments as discussed by the authors, which is dominated by the voluminous and still active vulcanicity of the Cameroun rift.Citations

South Atlantic continental drift and the Benue Trough
TL;DR: The Benue Trough, now situated on the bend between the east-west and north-south trending coastlines, originated as a northeast-southwest tensional graben system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stages in the P-T path of ascending basalt magma: an example from San Quintin, Baja California
C. R. Bacon,Ian S. E. Carmichael +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used analytical data on the rocks and minerals and simple thermodynamic expressions, the pressures and temperatures of equilibration of lavas and xenoliths, megacrysts and phenocrysts have been calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potassium-argon ages and strontium isotope ratio measurements from volcanic rocks in northeastern Nigeria
TL;DR: The Cenozoic volcanic activity in northeastern Nigeria began with the intrusion into the Benue trough of a trachyte-phonolite suite of plugs 22-11 m.y. as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continental Drift, Magmatic Provinces and Mantle Plumes
TL;DR: The plume scar or plume trace is left in the crust, as a line of volcanoes or intrusive centres as discussed by the authors, where the lithosphere happens to be moving as a result of active seafloor spreading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of stripping properties of stone material in asphalt
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the position of elements in the periodic table and chemical composition on refractive index of minerals was examined in order to classify mineral aggregates for asphalt road building with regard to dispersive adhesive properties and expected resistance to stripping.
