Geochemical constraints on coupled assimilation and fractional crystallization involving upper crustal compositions and continental tholeiitic magma

- Description: The commonly analyzed trace elements in tholeiites can be subdivided into three groups depending on their sense of enrichment or depletion in upper continental crust in relation to fractional crystallization. Lithophile incompatible elements are enriched in crustal rocks and by fractional crystallization, whereas compatible transition elements such as Ni and Cr are depleted. A small third group comprising Ti, V, Fe, and sometimes P, enrich with crystallization but are depleted in the crust.

New views on the Jurassic Clarens Formation: volcano-sedimentary interaction

- Description: The Lower Jurassic Clarens Formation of the Great Karoo Basin is usually viewed in the literature as a aeolian and, in places, fluvio-aeolian deposit of tremendous thickness variation form 0-250 m thickness. Interaction with the overlying Karoo Flood Basalts, particularly in the Eastern Cape area and in Lesotho, has been noted but was never a major topic. Relatively widespread pyroclastic deposits sandwiched between the Clarens Formation and the Karoo Flood Basalts have been interpreted as flood-lahars.

The distribution of platinum group elements in the Insizwa lobe, Mount Ayliff Complex, South Africa: implications for Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide exploration in the Karoo igneous province

- Description: The Mount Ayliff Complex of the Eastern Cape province of South Africa is a layered intrusion of some 800 km2 surface area and up to 1,200 m thickness. On the basis of compositional similarities and spatial association, it is generally interpreted to form part of the Karoo igneous province. Similarities between the Mount Ayliff Complex and the staging chambers and feeder conduits to flood basalts that host magmatic sulfide ores elsewhere in the world suggest that the Mount Ayliff Complex may have an enhanced potential for Noril’sk-Talnakh–type massive Ni-Cu sulfide ores, an idea that is supported by the well-known sulfide occurrence at Waterfall Gorge.
