Giant Circumferential Dyke Swarms: Catalogue and Characteristics

Buchan, Kenneth L.; Ernst, Richard E.

Pages: 1 –44

[Giant circumferential dyke swarms have a primary geometry that is quasi-circular or quasi-elliptical. Examples and possible examples described previously or identified in this study have outer diameters that range from ~450 to ~2500 km. There has been little study of these features. Here, we...

Magma Transport Pathways in Large Igneous Provinces: Lessons from Combining Field Observations and Seismic Reflection Data

Magee, Craig; Ernst, Richard E.; Muirhead, James; Phillips, Thomas; Jackson, Christopher A.-L.

Pages: 45 –85

[Large Igneous Province (LIP) formation involves the generation, intrusion, and extrusion of significant volumes (typically > 1 Mkm3) of mainly mafic magma and is commonly associated with episodes of mantle plume activity and major plate reconfiguration. Within LIPs, magma transport through...

The Mesozoic Equatorial Atlantic Magmatic Province (EQUAMP)

Hollanda, M. H. B. M.; Archanjo, C. J.; Macedo Filho, A. A.; Fossen, H.; Ernst, R. E.; de Castro, D. L.; Melo, A. C.; Oliveira, A. L.

Pages: 87 –110

[Mafic dike swarms and sills intruding, respectively, the Precambrian Borborema and Paleozoic Parnaíba provinces (NE Brazil) constitute two major magmatic events related to the continental break-up that formed the Equatorial Atlantic. Available whole rock K–Ar determinations and a few plagioclase...

Intraplate Proterozoic Magmatism in the Amazonian Craton Reviewed: Geochronology, Crustal Tectonics and Global Barcode Matches

Teixeira, W.; Reis, N. J.; Bettencourt, J. S.; Klein, E. L.; Oliveira, D. C.

Pages: 111 –154

[We review geochronological data including U-Pb baddelyite ages of Proterozoic mafic dyke swarms and sills of the Amazonian Craton, as well as their geochemical character and geological settings, in order to arrive at an integrated tectonic interpretation. The information together with the...

The Precambrian Mafic Magmatic Record, Including Large Igneous Provinces of the Kalahari Craton and Its Constituents: A Paleogeographic Review

de Kock, M. O.; Gumsley, A. P.; Klausen, M. B.; Söderlund, U.; Djeutchou, C.

Pages: 155 –214

[The study of Precambrian dyke swarms, sill provinces and large igneous provinces on the Kalahari craton in southern Africa has expanded greatly since the pioneering work initiated almost four decades ago. The main contributors to this progress have been a large number of precise U–Pb...

Constraining the Chronology of the Mashishing Dykes from the Eastern Kaapvaal Craton in South Africa

Wabo, H.; Humbert, F.; de Kock, M. O.; Belyanin, G.; Söderlund, U.; Maré, L. P.; Beukes, N. J.

Pages: 215 –261

[The present study focuses on NNE-trending dykes (sites LDA to LDJ) that occur near Mashishing in the eastern Kaapvaal craton. The Mashishing dykes were previously considered to be coeval and regarded as the extension of the 1.875–1.835 Ga Black Hills dyke swarm into the sedimentary rocks of the...

New U–Pb Baddeleyite Ages of Mafic Dyke Swarms of the West African and Amazonian Cratons: Implication for Their Configuration in Supercontinents Through Time

Baratoux, L.; Söderlund, U.; Ernst, R. E.; de Roever, E.; Jessell, M. W.; Kamo, S.; Naba, S.; Perrouty, S.; Metelka, V.; Yatte, D.; Grenholm, M.; Diallo, D. P.; Ndiaye, P. M.; Dioh, E.; Cournède, C.; Benoit, M.; Baratoux, D.; Youbi, N.; Rousse, S.; Bendaoud, A.

Pages: 263 –314

[Eight different generations of dolerite dykes crosscutting the Paleoproterozoic basement in West Africa and one in South America were dated using the high precision U–Pb TIMS method on baddeleyite. Some of the individual dykes reach over 300 km in length and they are considered parts of much...

Spatial and Temporal Distribution Patterns of Mafic Dyke Swarms in Central Asia: Results from Remote-Sensing Interpretation and Regional Geology

Feng, Qianwen; Li, Jinyi; Liu, Jianfeng; Zhou, Kefa

Pages: 315 –333

[Mafic dykes in continents are a special type of intrusive rock formed by different tectonic events including earlier fracturing deformation in host rocks and successive magma intrusions originating at depth. Dyke swarms indicate regional crustal deformation related to continental formation and...

Neoarchean-Mesoproterozoic Mafic Dyke Swarms of the Indian Shield Mapped Using Google Earth™ Images and ArcGIS™, and Links with Large Igneous Provinces

Samal, Amiya K.; Srivastava, Rajesh K.; Ernst, Richard E.; Söderlund, Ulf

Pages: 335 –390

[We present dyke swarm maps generated using Google Earth™ images, ArcGIS™, field data, and available geochronological ages of Neoarchean-Mesoproterozoic (ranging in age from ~2.80 to ~1.10 Ga) mafic dyke swarms and associated magmatic units of the different Archean cratons of the Indian shield...

Petrology and Mineral Chemistry of a Porphyritic Mafic Dyke, Jonnagiri Schist Belt, Eastern Dharwar Craton, India: Implications for Its Magmatic Origin

Sesha Sai, V. V.; Mahapatro, S. N.; Bhattacharjee, Santanu; Khanna, Tarun C.; Korakoppa, M. M.

Pages: 391 –414

[We present field, petrology and mineralogy of a porphyritic mafic dyke that traverses the granite-greenstone terrain of the Neoarchean Jonnagiri schist belt, eastern Dharwar craton, India. The undeformed porphyritic dyke is characterised by the presence of euhedral plagioclase megacrysts...
