Hence, this study investi- gates the movement of magma away from the Mull volcano in the North Atlantic Igneous Province, where Supporting Information: erosion has exposed its upper crustal dike networks. Magmatic lineations within dikes indicate that the Supporting Information S1 magma flow in the Mull dike suite changed from near vertical to horizontal within 30 km of the volcanic Table S1 center.

Accepted 12 September 2013 The Palaeogene Ardnamurchan central igneous complex, NW Scotland, was a defining place for the Published development of the classic concepts of cone-sheet and ring-dyke emplacement and has thus fundamentally 8 October 2013 influenced our thinking on subvolcanic structures. We have used the available structural information on Ardnamurchan to project the underlying three-dimensional (3D) cone-sheet structure. Here we show that a single elongate magma chamber likely acted as the source of the cone-sheet swarm(s) instead of the traditionally accepted model of three successive centres. This proposal is supported by the ridge-like Correspondence and morphology of the Ardnamurchan volcano and is consistent with the depth and elongation of the gravity requests for materials anomaly underlying the peninsula. Our model challenges the traditional model of cone-sheet emplacement should be addressed to at Ardnamurchan that involves successive but independent centres in favour of a more dynamical one that S.B. (Steffi.Burchardt@ involves a single, but elongate and progressively evolving magma chamber system.

Well and seismic data acquired since 1980 have greatly expanded our knowledge of the stratigraphy and The Riclunond basin is located in east-central Virginia, structure of the basin. To date at least 17 shallow wells approximately 19 km west of Riclunond, near the eastern (under 1000 m) and 3 deep wells have been drilled for oil edge of the Piedmont (Figures I.I, 3.1). The basin is surrounded by igneous and metamorphic rocks of the Piedmont Province and bounded on the west by a nonnal fault believed to be a reactivated portion of the Hylas zone (Goodwin et al., 1985), a Paleozoic thrust fault (faylor and Ressetar, 1985) or Alleghenian strike-slip fault {Manspeizer and Gates, 1988). The basin is approximately 53 km long and 15 km wide at its widest point (Goodwin et al., 1985). The dated sedimentary rocks in the basin range from early to middle Carnian (early Late Triassic) (fraverse, 1987; Comet, in press), and a few Jurassic diabase dikes intrude both the rocks in the basin and the surrounding Piedmont (Goodwin et al., 1986). The thickness of the sedimentary fill in the Riclunond basin has been detennined by drilling in several locations.

Le Roex2 1Fission Track Research Group, Department of Geological Sciences, University College London, Gower St. London WC1E 6BT, 2Department of Geological Sciences, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch 7700, South Africa *Present address: School of Applied Geology, Curtin University of Technology, G.P.O. Box U1987, Perth, W.A. 6001, Australia The Okenyenya igneous complex, of Mesozoic age and located in northwestern Namibia, is notable for its extremely wide range of rock types of both tholeiitic and alkaline affinities. The intrusive rocks, which range from highly alkaline, silica-poor lamprophyres through to quartz-syenite, have been emplaced by a variety of contrasting mechanisms. A detailed geological map of the igneous complex is presented, together with a structural reinterpretation of a number of the component intrusions. A model of emplacement is proposed comprising: Stage 1, emplacement of a tholeiitic gabbro-quartz monzodiorite sill or cone sheet complex, followed by Stage 2, the intrusion of picritic gabbro dykes; and Stage 3, the emplacement of alkaline gabbros into high level magma chambers. Stage 4 involved the injection of syenite and quartz syenite as a series of dykes and sills, primarily in the southwest of the complex but includ- ing a major peripheral ring dyke. Stage 5 saw the emplacement of concentric intrusions of nepheline syenite and essexite during the last major phase of magmatism, with the final magmatism ofStage 6, involving the emplacement of lamprophyric rock types as narrow dykes, small stocks and volcanic diatremes.

According to new radiometric data three main stages in the evolution of Boa Vista are distinguished: the ear­ lier (the Old Volcanic Complex: 17-16 Ma) is equivalent to the shield building stage of Hawaii and the later (the Recent Volcanics Ma) is in some aspects comparable to the post-erosional stage.

This felsic stage has equivalents in some other oceanic islands as the Canary Islands, specially Oceanic islands Gran Canaria, Tenerife, and La Gomera. The central sector of Boa Vista is also occupied by the Felsic Boa Vista Island Subvolcanic Complex, a unit consisting of phonolitic breccias, syenites and monzonites that represent the cape Verde Islands Trachytic-Phonolitic Complex hypabyssal roots.

Much new work is presented on the petrology and chemistry of the rocks (by Kudo) and on field relationships (by Kelley). Kudo's contribu- tions are a part of his study of basalts in New Mexico and other places in the Rockies. Kelley's contribution is an outgrowth of current study of the stratig- raphy, structure, and geomorphology of the Albuquerque Basin (Kelley, 1977). Parts of this circular appeared in "Guidebook to Albuquerque Basin of the Rio Grande rift" (Kelley and others, 1976). We acknowledge the assistance of: 1) John Husler, for chemical analyses of the rocks, 2) James A. Kasten, who mapped Cerro de Los Lunas and Tome Hill for his master's thesis under Kudo's direction, and 3) Jacques R. Renault, for suggestions on improving the manuscript.

  • Bimodal Magmatism Produced by Progressively Inhibited Crustal Assimilation
    ARTICLE Received 27 Nov 2013 | Accepted 22 May 2014 | Published 20 Jun 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms5199 Bimodal magmatism produced by progressively inhibited crustal assimilation F.C. Meade1, V.R. Troll1,2, R.M. Ellam3, C. Freda2, L. Font4, C.H. Donaldson5 & I. Klonowska1 The origin of bimodal (mafic–felsic) rock suites is a fundamental question in volcanology. Here we use major and trace elements, high-resolution Sr, Nd and Pb isotope analyses, experimental petrology and thermodynamic modelling to investigate bimodal magmatism at the iconic Carlingford Igneous Centre, Ireland. We show that early microgranites are the result of extensive assimilation of trace element-enriched partial melts of local metasiltstones into mafic parent magmas. Melting experiments reveal the crust is very fusible, but thermodynamic modelling indicates repeated heating events rapidly lower its melt-production capacity. Granite generation ceased once enriched partial melts could no longer form and subsequent magmatism incorporated less fertile restite compositions only, producing mafic intrusions and a pronounced compositional gap. Considering the frequency of bimodal magma suites in the North Atlantic Igneous Province, and the ubiquity of suitable crustal compositions, we propose ‘progressively inhibited crustal assimilation’ (PICA) as a major cause of bimodality in continental volcanism. 1 Department of Earth Sciences, CEMPEG, Uppsala University, Villava¨gen 16, 752 36 Uppsala, Sweden. 2 Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Via di Vigna Murata, 605, 00143 Rome, Italy. 3 Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre, Rankine Avenue, East Kilbride, G75 0QF Scotland, UK. 4 Department of Petrology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, De Boelelaan 1085, 1081 HV Amsterdam, Netherlands. 5 School of Geography and Geosciences, University of St Andrews, North Street, St Andrews, KY16 9AL Scotland, UK.
