RB 2012/00019 Geochemistry of pre-1570 Ma mafic magmatism within southern Australia: implications for possible tectonic settings and timing of major mineralisation events in South Australia.
Geochemical and isotopic data from mantle-derived mafic rocks provide important constraints on our understanding of the composition and evolution of the lithosphere through time. Since the lithosphere is sensitive to tectonic processes such as...-
