Ca. 825 Ma komatiitic basalts in South China: First evidence for >1500 degrees C mantle melts by a Rodinian mantle plume

Ca. 825 Ma komatiitic basalts in South China: First evidence for >1500 degrees C mantle melts by a Rodinian mantle plume

Mantle plume or superplume activities have repeatedly been invoked as a cause for the breakup of the Neoproterozoic supercontinent Rodinia, with supportive evidence including radiating dike swarms, globally synchronous anorogenic igneous activity, large-scale lithospheric doming and unroofing, and g...
