“Each crystal has a record of upwards of 50-300,000 years of magmatism in the caldera.”
“Ancient cratons, characterized by thick lithospheric-mantle roots, are stable and normally unaffected by later magmatism or tectonic activity.”
“Significant Mesozoic unroofing is coincident with large igneous province activity, kimberlite magmatism, and continental rifting within and along the margins of southern Africa, compatible with a phase of plateau elevation gain due to mantle buoyancy sources associated with these events.”
“SHRIMP U-Pb dating of recurrent Cryogenian and Late Cambrian-Early Ordovician alkalic magmatism in central Idaho: Implications for Rodinian rift tectonics”
“Schoene and Bowring provide insight into the time scales of magmatic intrusion with unprecedented temporal precision, using new methods of U-Pb zircon dating, and link this with field mapping and geochemistry to characterize an episode of Mesoarchean magmatism.”
“Integrating this period of magmatism and deformation into existing tectonic models for the region, these new data support the hypothesis that the eastern Kaapvaal craton formed through subduction and accretion of young continental fragments by plate tectonic processes similar to those found today.”
“F.M. McCubbin et al. Nominally hydrous magmatism on the moon.”

“Lawsonite is an important carrier of water into the mantle, a likely contributor to subduction zone seismicity, and a bearer of trace elements that link metamorphism to arc magmatism.”
