Boulder Batholith, Montana: A product of two contemporaneous but chemically distinct magma series Boulder Batholith, Montana: A product of two contemporaneous but chemically distinct magma series
Rocks of the Late Cretaceous composite Boulder batholith, though successively emplaced in a relatively small segment of the Earth's crust within a very brief time span (78 to 68 m.y.), can be grouped chemically into two magma series: (1) the main series, defined principally by plutons in the central and northern parts of the batholith; and (2) the sodic series, defined mostly by plutons...

Basement ages and basement depths in the eastern equatorial pacific from Deep Sea Drilling Project Legs 5, 8, 9, and 16 Basement ages and basement depths in the eastern equatorial pacific from Deep Sea Drilling Project Legs 5, 8, 9, and 16
Recent literature contains numerous references to basement ages and basement depths determined by the Deep Sea Drilling Project. The data are derived from a variety of sources, many of them inadequately documented or preliminary, and are not uncommonly inaccurate or conflicting. In this paper we present tabulations of basement ages and depths from DSDP Legs 5, 8, 9, and 16 in the eastern

Stages in the P-T path of ascending basalt magma: an example from San Quintin, Baja California Stages in the P-T path of ascending basalt magma: an example from San Quintin, Baja California
Late Pleistocene or Recent lavas from San Quintin, Baja California are basanitoids and alkali basalts. The surface quench temperatures of the lavas average 1 005° C with log fO2fO2=−11.4, as deduced from the groundmass Fe-Ti oxides. Spinel lherzolite xenoliths and megacrysts of augite and andesine have been found in lava flows and cinder deposits. Using analytical data on the rocks and...

Flow of lava into the sea, 1969–1971, Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii Flow of lava into the sea, 1969–1971, Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
Lava from the Mauna Ulu eruption on Kilauea Volcano entered the sea on the south coast of the Island of Hawaii three times from 1969 to 1971. Two of these flows were investigated underwater by divers, one while lava was actively flowing. The June 1969 flow entered the sea as a narrow flow of aa. Below sea level, the flow maintained continuity and flowed at least several hundred meters to...

Origin of Comb Layering and Orbicular Structure, Sierra Nevada Batholith, California Origin of Comb Layering and Orbicular Structure, Sierra Nevada Batholith, California
A new descriptive term, comb layering, is proposed to replace the informal term Willow Lake-type layering, first introduced by Poldervaart and Taubeneck (1959) to describe layering in granitoid rocks in which constituent crystals are oriented approximately perpendicular to individual layers. The term schlieren layering is proposed to describe the “normal” layering of granitic rocks...
