Crustal contamination commonly plays an important role during magma emplacement and its effects must be evaluated carefully.
How do images mediate individual and collective recall so as to guarantee an unambiguous and predicatable account of emplacement?
Throughout the batholith, the fabrics formed by co-axial deformation as a result of lateral expansion operating in successive magma batches at the emplacement level.
The foliation formed at this time, during emplacement.
In continental rift settings, the emplacement of such large volumes of felsic melts requires a huge amount of mafic magma derived from uprising asthenosphere.
This lends support to a controlling influence for lithospheric rifting zones on continental flood basalt generation and emplacement.
On the basis of our combined data, a more appealing model for the mafic-ultramafic complexes is the emplacement of solitary intrusions.
The eastward dip of these magmatic layers is consistent with an overall thrust-related emplacement history for these slices.
