Mantle metasomatism and alkaline magmatism
- eds.
The 24 papers in this volume were presented at the Symposium on Alkalic Rocks and Kimberlites, held at the Geological Society of America South-Central Section meeting, April 15-16, 1985, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. This two-day symposium included a total of 55 papers dealing with mantle metasomatism and the origin of alkaline magmas, kimberlites and related rocks, alkalic rocks in oceanic settings, and alkalic rocks in continental settings. Papers presented at this symposium heightened the awareness that alkaline magmatism may occur in virtually all tectonic and petrologic settings. Two papers deal specifically with data from California sites. These research papers on aspects of alkaline rock petrology contribute to a better insight into the complex diversity of alkalic systems, the mantle processes which precede and accompany alkaline magmatism, and kimberlitic and oceanic systems. Abstracts of all papers presented at the symposium and not published in full in the volume are included in an appendix to show the broad scope of data presented at the meeting.
