Скачать или смотреть Kalkarindji: The peculiar Australian large volcanic province

In Australia, we have a very unusual large volcanic province. Which one? Kalkardindji

Kalkarindji is a Cambrian volcanic province and is truly the forgotten large volcanic province. Despite some significant outrcrops, it was poorly studied until 10 years ago or so. Turns out that it is associated with the first significant extinction of the phanerozoic along with having a very strange chemical compositions. I this paper published in Journal of Petrology in 2018, we extensively studied this province and in particular its chemical makeup
