Platinum-group element geochemistry of the shoshonitic igneous suite of Vulcano (Aeolian Arc, Italy): implications for chalcophile element fertility of arc magmas
Platinum-group element (PGE) geochemistry of arc-related magmas can be used to constrain the timing of sulfide saturation, which plays a critical role in the chalcophile element fertility of evolving magmatic ...

The largest Au deposits in the St Ives Goldfield (Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia) may be located in a major Neoarchean volcano-sedimentary depo-centre
The largest Neoarchean gold deposits in the world-class St Ives Goldfield, Western Australia, occur in an area known as the Argo–Junction region (e.g. Junction, Argo and Athena). Why this region is so well end...

The age and origin of younger granitic plutons of the Shaw Batholith in the Archaean Pilbara Block, Western Australia
The whole-rock Pb-Pb method has been used to date four of the younger, mainly adamellite, late-tectonic plutonic phases within the ca. 3.5 Ga Shaw Batholith of the Archaean east Pilbara Block. Three suites giv...

The difference between oceanic and continental tholeiites: a fluid dynamic explanation
Continental tholeiites have higher SiO2, K2O and light rare earth element contents and more evolved isotopic characteristics than their oceanic counterparts. These differences can be explained if the compositions...

A 3500 Ma plutonic and volcanic calc-alkaline province in the Archaean East Pilbara Block
Variably foliated, predominantly granodioritic plutonic rocks from the northern part of the Shaw Batholith in the east Pilbara Archaean craton are dated at 3,499±22 Ma (2σ errors) by a whole-rock Pb-Pb isochron. ...

Plagioclase buoyancy in basaltic liquids as determined with a centrifuge furnace
Plagioclase buoyancy experiments have been carried out in a high-temperature centrifuge furnace using seventeen basaltic liquids and plagioclase crystals of three compositions: An89, An76 and An55. The results sh...

The geochemistry of pyroxenes from the lower layered series of the Jimberlana intrusion, Western Australia
Most of the Al3+ entering the pyroxenes does so by substituting for tetrahedral Si4+. This creates a charge imbalance that requires the simultaneous entry of Cr3+, Ti4+, Fe3+ or Al3+ into octahedral sites. Cr3+, ...

Factors effecting the stability field of Ca-poor pyroxene and the origin of the Ca-poor minimum in Ca-rich pyroxenes from tholeiitic intrusions
Ca-poor pyroxene ceases to crystallise towards the end of fractionation in tholeiitic intrusions and is usually replaced by Fe-rich olivine. Using the data of Nicholls et al. (1971), the
