Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Science China Earth Sciences"
DOI: 10.1007/s11430-017-9185-2
Abstract: The activity of melts and fluids may have played a key role in inducing the destruction of the eastern North China Craton in the early Cretaceous. Carbonate melts are important agents in mantle metasomatism and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2017.01.022
Abstract: Abstract Following giant impacts the early Hadean Earth was shrouded in a steam atmosphere for durations on the order of 1 Ma. In order to investigate the potential of this atmosphere to fractionate major elements… read more here.

Seismic evidence for depth-dependent metasomatism in cratons

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2018.03.018
Abstract: Abstract The long-term stability of cratons has been attributed to low temperatures and depletion in iron and water, which decrease density and increase viscosity. However, steady-state thermal models based on heat flow and xenolith constraints… read more here.

On the (mis)behavior of water in the mantle: Controls on nominally anhydrous mineral water content in mantle peridotites

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2018.07.033
Abstract: Abstract In magmatic settings, water behaves as an incompatible species and should be depleted during melting and enriched during metasomatism. Previous studies have identified correlations between nominally anhydrous mineral (NAM) water content ([H2O]) and indices… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jafrearsci.2018.11.018
Abstract: Abstract The Taupone Dolomite Group (Lower Transvaal Supergroup) is a carbonate platform sequence that rimmed the north western Kaapvaal Craton during the Neoarchean-Paleoproterozoic (ca. 2.6–2.5 Ga). The dolostones of the Taupone Dolomite Group in Botswana are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2018.01.031
Abstract: Abstract Early Cretaceous mafic dyke swarms are widely developed on Jiaodong Peninsula in the southeastern part of the North China Craton (NCC), but their petrogenesis remains enigmatic. We have examined the in-situ major element, trace… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2018.03.006
Abstract: Abstract In this study, a series of high-pressure (1.5 GPa) and high-temperature (1000–1300 °C) experiments were performed to investigate the petrological imprints of adakitic metasomatism on mantle wedge peridotites. Reaction couples were prepared using a powdered adakite… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2020.105719
Abstract: Abstract Mantle xenoliths carried by the Cenozoic basalts in Huinan are composed of harzburgite, dunite, lherzolite, wehrlite, and pyroxenite. These rocks provide an opportunity to trace the composition and evolution of the lithospheric mantle beneath… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2019.105380
Abstract: Abstract Accurately dating the formation and modification of Earth’s sub-cratonic mantle still faces many challenges, primarily due to the long and complex history of depletion and subsequent metasomatism of this reservoir. In an attempt to… read more here.

Complex Neoarchean mantle metasomatism: Evidence from sanukitoid diorites-monzodiorites-granodiorites in the northeastern North China Craton

DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2020.105692
Abstract: Abstract Mantle metasomatism is a major factor leading to diverse arc magmatism. Late Neoarchean sanukitoid diorites-quartz diorites-monzodiorites-granodiorites (DQMGs) are widespread in the North Liaoning Block, northeastern North China Craton, and were evidently emplaced into Neoarchean… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2017.06.013
Abstract: Abstract Cratons are strong and their preservation demonstrates that they resist deformation and fragmentation. Yet several cratons are rifting now, or have rifted in the past. We suggest that cratons need to be weakened before… read more here.
