Orientation of tabular mafic intrusions controls convective vigour and crystallization style

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: PETROLOGY and collaborators from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge , EQ, UK have published the Article: Orientation of Tabular Mafic Intrusions Controls Convective Vigour and Crystallization Style, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: In this contribution, the authors examine the microstructures of tabular basaltic intrusions that are thought to have formed from a single injection of magma, focusing in particular on the grain size and shape of plagioclase. The authors demonstrate that differences in microstructure between sills and dykes are consistent with significant differences in the vigour of convection and . . .
