Oceanic mafic magmatism in the Siletz terrane, NW North America: Fragments of an Eocene oceanic plateau?
Article history: Received 11 October 2016 Accepted 5 January 2017 Available online 14 January 2017 The Siletz terrane, a predominantly mafic accreted oceanic terrane, is located in the Cascadia forearc region of Oregon, Washington and Vancouver Island. The terrane represents a late Palaeocene–Eocene large igneous province that consists of pillow lavas, massive flows and intrusive sheets. Previo...
متن کاملThe Shatsky Rise oceanic plateau structure from two-dimensional multichannel seismic refl ection profi les and implications for oceanic plateau formation
The Shatsky Rise is one of the largest oceanic plateaus, a class of volcanic features whose formation is poorly understood. It is also a plateau that was formed near spreading ridges, but the connection between the two features is unclear. The geologic structure of the Shatsky Rise can help us understand its formation. Deeply penetrating two-dimensional (2-D) multichannel seismic (MCS) refl ect...
متن کاملAn unmetasomatized source for the Malaitan alniiite (Solomon Islands): Petrogenesis involving zone refining, megacryst fractionation, and assimilation of oceanic lithosphere
The Ma&tan alnijite contains a rich and varied megacryst suite of unprecedented compositional range. We have undertaken trace element and isotope modeling in order to formulate a petrogenetic scheme which links the host alniiite to its entrained megacrysts. This requires that a proto-alntiite magma is the product of zone refining initiated by diapiric upwelling (where the initial melt passes th...
متن کاملSubduction of the oceanic Hikurangi Plateau and its impact on the Kermadec arc.
Large igneous province subduction is a rare process on Earth. A modern example is the subduction of the oceanic Hikurangi Plateau beneath the southern Kermadec arc, offshore New Zealand. This segment of the arc has the largest total lava volume erupted and the highest volcano density of the entire Kermadec arc. Here we show that Kermadec arc lavas south of ~32°S have elevated Pb and Sr and low ...
متن کاملThe youngest science
LEWIS THOMAS, The youngest science, Oxford University Press, 1983, 8vo, pp. viii, 276, £3.95 (paperback). Now in paperback, these are the reminiscences of the career of a successful, kindly, drily humorous, medical scientist. His most attractive trait is that of enjoyment. The son of a Flushing general practitioner, he moves through life, to Harvard, various residencies, Guam and Okinawa during...
