Petrogenesis of the ~2.77 Ga Monts de Cristal Complex, Gabon: Evidence for Direct Precipitation of Pt-arsenides from Basaltic Magma

Petrogenesis of the ~2.77 Ga Monts de Cristal Complex, Gabon: Evidence for Direct Precipitation of Pt-arsenides from Basaltic Magma

The Monts de Cristal Complex of Gabon consists of several igneous bodies interpreted to be remnants of a tectonically dismembered, >100 km long and 1–3 km wide, ultramafic–mafic intrusion emplaced at 2765–2775 Ma. It is the most significant mafic–ultramafic layered complex yet identified on the C...
