Intrusions induce global warming before continental flood basalt volcanism
Extinction events are known to correlate with continental flood basalt eruptions. Massive carbon degassing from these eruptions can have catastrophic...

Evolution of mid-Tertiary continental pyroclastic-flood basalt facies association within the context of the Red Sea rifting, northern Western Desert, Egypt
The research offers a perspective on the hierarchical facies and the development of an Oligo-Miocene sequence of pyroclastics and lava flows within a...

Petrogenesis and Tectonic Implications of the Tertiary Choke Shield Basalt and Continental Flood Basalt from the Central Ethiopian Plateau
The voluminous Choke Shield basalts and flood basalts are distributed in the central Ethiopian Plateau. They are tholeiitic in composition and have...

Mantle source lithologies for the Columbia River flood basalt province
The Columbia River flood basalts in the northwestern United States are recognized as part of the greater Yellowstone hotspot province, the products...

Early Jurassic Flood Basalt Volcanism on Franz Josef Land Archipelago: Geological and Palynostratigraphical Data
AbstractBiostratigraphic evidence of the presence of Early Jurassic flood basalts on the Franz Josef Land Archipelago is presented. The flood basalts...

Olivine decadence of continental flood basalts in the light of recent experiments: A case study from Khandwa, Eastern Deccan Volcanic Province
AbstractContinental flood basalts of the world are represented either by picrobasalt/picrite layers (with abundant growth of olivine) or by (almost)...

Thermal conductivity of Deccan flood basalts
AbstractRock thermal conductivity is an essential parameter for the determination of heat flow of the Earth and geothermal modelling studies. It has...

Sub-basalt hydrocarbon prospect assessment in Peninsular India using seaward dip** reflectors
Conventionally, volcanic margins have been considered devoid of hydrocarbon, but many discoveries and research in recent past have proved the...
-
Stratigraphic framework of the northeastern part of the Ethiopian flood basalt province
We present a first stratigraphy of the flood basalt succession in eastern Wollo province, northern Ethiopian plateau, based on detailed field...

P–T estimates for the fractionated and primary melt of tholeiitic dykes from Multai area of Deccan flood basalt, Madhya Pradesh (India)
AbstractPetrological, mineral chemical and geochemical results are reported for the Cenozoic en-echelon tholeiitic dykes of the Multai area of Deccan...

Rare native Ni, Fe, Cu, and Sn metals in Hemrin Basalt, northern Iraq: implications for mineral chemistry and ore genesis
The Hemrin Basalt (HB) is an abnormal occurrence because of its genesis, mineralogy, textures, rare native metals content, and odd...
-
A simple recipe for red bole formation in continental flood basalt provinces: weathering of flow-top and flow-bottom breccias
Continental flood basalt (CFB) provinces such as the Deccan Traps show numerous inter-flow horizons called boles, most commonly red or brown. These...

Tectonic Framework of the Eurasian Arctic Continental Margin
AbstractModern ideas about the tectonics of the Eurasian continental margin are considered. Cratons, fold belts, platforms, and sedimentary basins...

Morphological transitions between lobate resurfacing and distal breakout lava flows in flood basalts: insights from analog experiments
Continental flood basalts (CFBs) are dominated by two characteristic lava morphologies. The first type, referred to as ‘compound’ or ‘hummocky...

Is the Yermak Plateau a continental fragment from North America? Constraints from Cretaceous and early Eocene magmatic events
The Yermak Plateau (YP) north of Svalbard is a prominent bathymetric feature in the Eurasia Basin of the Arctic Ocean, forming the northwesternmost...

Windowing petrogenesis of continental flood basalts through mineralogical investigations: a case study from the Eastern Deccan Volcanic Province
Evaluation of the petrogenetic history of continental flood basalt using mineral–chemical data has been sparingly used for several flood basalt...

Aptian flood basalts in Bacalhau oil and gas field: petrogenesis and geodynamics of post-rift tholeiites in the pre-salt sequence of Santos Basin, Brazil
A post-rift Aptian magmatism is recorded in a 500-m-thick sequence of basalts interbedded with marls in the Bacalhau oil and gas field in Santos...
