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:

Boninites as source rocks of tungsten mineralization at Mittersill, Austria?
TL;DR: In this article, the eastern part of the Mittersill stratabound scheelite deposit, located in the central Hohe Tauern (Salzburg Province, Austria) was investigated in detail, revealing the presence of a succession of volcanic rocks with subalkaline to talc-alkaline characteristics.
Major and minor element chemistry of triassic black shales near a dolerite intrusion at sassenfjorden

Geochemical Characterization of Novokrivoyrog Metavolcanics: Tectonic Implications and Relationship with the Early Proterozoic Banded Iron Formation (BIF) of Krivoy Rog in Ukraine
TL;DR: The geochemical characterization of Novokrivoyrog metavolcanics (2.2 Ga) and Krivoy Rog iron ores (1.8 Ga) in Ukraine represent an important tool for the understanding of their genesis and tectono-magmatic evolution as mentioned in this paper.

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.
