Plume-Lithosphere Interaction during Migration of Cretaceous Alkaline Magmatism in SW Portugal: Evidence from U-Pb Ages and Pb-Sr-Hf Isotopes

Large massifs of alkaline rocks are exposed along ∼250 km of the Atlantic coast of Portugal. Their origin is still poorly understood, including the precise timing of their emplacement and their relationships with the well-constrained alkaline magmatic rocks that occur 200–1000 km offshore. To elucid...
