TLDR
In this article, the authors presented new analyses for seven kaersutite-bearing basaltic rocks, including peridotite, clinopyroxenite, gabbro and hornblendite inclusions.
Abstract
Kaersutite-bearing peridotite, clinopyroxenite, gabbro and hornblendite inclusions up to 5 cm in size and megacrysts of kaersutite, andesine and titanomagnetite occur in alkali basalt scoria at Takenotsuji, Iki Island, Japan. New analyses are presented for seven kaersutite-bearing basaltic rocks, three inclusions, three clinopyroxenes and six kaersutites.

Petrogenetic implications of Ti, Zr, Y, and Nb variations in volcanic rocks

TL;DR: In this paper, a table of mineral-liquid distribution coefficients for Ti, Zr, Y, and Nb for basic, intermediate and acid melt compositions were used to interpret variations of these elements, first in basalts and second during fractional crystallization from basic to acid magmas.

Petrologic model of the crust and upper mantle of the Japanese Island arcs

TL;DR: In this paper, a petrologic model of the crust and upper mantle of the Holocene calc-alkali andesite of Ichinomegata(1) crater in Oga peninsula and those in the Plio-Pleistocene alkali-olivine basalts of Oki-Dōgo island in the Japan Sea was constructed.

Origin of some magmas in oceanic and circum-oceanic regions

TL;DR: Partial melting experiments on spinel-lherzolite, a rock which probably occurs in relatively shallow parts of the oceanic upper mantle, demonstrate that alkali basaltic melt is formed at depths of at least 20 kbar whereas tholeiitic melts are formed at lower pressures as discussed by the authors.

Petrology of mafic inclusions from Itinome-gata, Japan

TL;DR: In this paper, various types of mafic inclusions up to 30 cm in size occur in lapilli tuff of alkali basalt at Itinome-gata crater, northeastern Japan.

Stability and composition relations of calcic amphiboles in ultramafic rocks

TL;DR: In this article, the stability of tremolite plus forsterite in the system H2O-CaO-MgO-SiO2 from 5 to 20 kbar was investigated and a univariant curve was fitted to the experimental brackets using volume, water fugacity and heat capacity data.

The genesis of basaltic magmas

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a detailed experimental investigation of fractionation of natural basaltic compositions under conditions of high pressure and high temperature were reported, where a single stage, pistoncylinder apparatus has been used in the pressure range up to 27 kb and at temperatures up to 1500° C to study the melting behaviour of several basaltics compositions.

Genesis of the calc-alkaline igneous rock suite

TL;DR: In this article, a high pressure experimental study of the partial melting fields of synthetic high-alumina olivine tholeiite and quartz eclogite under dry and wet conditions has been conducted in order to investigate possible origins of the calc-alkaline series from the upper mantle.

Ultramafic inclusions in basaltic rocks from Hawaii

TL;DR: In this article, the inclusions were separated into three categories, which correlate with three groups basaltic hosts: lherzolite inclusions are relatively poor in Fe, and the component minerals have limited ranges of composition.
