Abstract: Archean and Proterozoic subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SLM) is compared using 83 similarly incompatible element ratios (SIER; minimally affected by % melting or differentiation, e.g., Rb/Ba, Nb/Pb, Ti/Y) for >3700 basalts from ten continental flood basalt… read more here.

Abstract: The temporal coincidence of large igneous provinces (LIPs) with Phanerozoic extinctions (e.g., ref. 1) has encouraged investigations of causality. Green et al. (2) found a greater temporal correlation between LIPs and Phanerozoic extinctions than expected… read more here.
