Rare earth elements and the island arc tholeiitic series
P. Jakesˇ,James B. Gill +1 more
TLDR
The island arc tholeiitic series as mentioned in this paper is the most dominant in many western Pacific and Atlantic Island arcs and represents the earliest stages in arc evolution. But it is chemically inappropriate to call many of the rocks in island arcs calc-alkaline and they suggest they be known as the "island arc thoeitic series" and they differ from normal thoeiitic features by having a higher percentage of intermediate and acid members and too little normative olivine, for example, to have been in equilibrium with peridotite.About:

Geochemistry of Cretaceous Magmatism in Eastern Cuba: Recycling of North American Continental Sediments and Implications for the Subduction Polarity in the Greater Antilles Paleo-arc
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented whole-rock major and trace-element and Nd-Sr-Pb radiogenic isotope data for Cretaceous igneous suites from eastern Cuba, which are related to the Greater Antilles paleo-island arc magmatism and have three different igneous styles.

The genesis of basaltic magmas
David H. Green,A.E. Ringwood +1 more
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.

Trace element fractionation and the origin of tholeiitic and alkaline magma types
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the abundance of large ion elements in alkaline basalts cannot be consistently explained by fractional crystallization processes and that these characteristics are produced by previous partial melting episodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical Characteristics of Oceanic Basalts and the Upper Mantle
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that oceanic tholeiites are either complete melts of the upper mantle or are generated from a mix of this tholeite and a magnesium-rich peridotite or dunite in proportions up to perhaps 1:4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical Characteristics and Origin of Oceanic Ridge Volcanic Rocks
TL;DR: Oceanic ridge volcanic rocks alkali metal, alkaline earth, rare earth, nickel and major element content, observing partial melting as mentioned in this paper. But this is not the case for all volcanic rocks.
