Numerous Late Carboniferous – Early Permian dykes are found in West Junggar and represent an important part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. In this contribution, we use these dykes to assess the tectonic regime and stress state in the Late Carboniferous – Early Permian. The West Junggar dykes are mainly diorite/dioritic porphyrite with minor diabase and were formed in 324–310 Ma. They have been divided into two groups based on their orientation, petrology and geochronology. Group 1 dykes mostly comprise WNW-striking dioritic porphyrite and NE-striking diorite with minor diabase and resemble the Karamay-Baogutu sanukitoid. They were probably formed from depleted mantle at a relatively high temperature and pressure with the addition of 1–2% sediment/sedimental partial melt and 0–5% trapped oceanic crust-derived melts. Group 2 dykes are ENE-striking and are similar to sanukite in the Setouchi Volcanic Belt. These dykes were also derived from depleted mantle at a shallow depth but high temperature with the addition of 2–3.5% sediment/sedimental partial melt. Magma banding and injection folds in dykes and host granitoids indicate magma flow. Paleostress analysis reveals that both groups of dykes were formed in a tensile stress field. Their emplacement is favoured by presence of pre-existing joints or fractures in the host granitoids and strata. We conclude that large-scale asthenosphere mantle upwelling induced by trapped oceanic slab-off can explain the magmatism and significant continental crustal growth of West Junggar during Late Carboniferous to Early Permian.

Goosegrass is a weedy C4 species throughout the world and a major pest in turfgrass systems. Further research is needed to characterize morphological events of goosegrass germinating in late summer to enhance long-term management programs. The objective of this study was to determine whether goosegrass germinating on August 15 will complete a life cycle before the first killing frost, typically November 15 in Clemson, SC. A biotype from Clemson, SC, was collected and a growth-chamber experiment was conducted to simulate autumn maximum and minimum temperatures. Culm, leaf, root, and raceme biomass measurements were recorded weekly, and growth curves were modeled. The inflection point (i.e., point of maximum growth) occurred for the following growth parameters: culm dry weight at 26.5 d after emergence (DAE), leaf dry weight at 26.6 DAE, number of racemes per plant at 50.7 DAE, raceme dry weight (including germinable seed) at 56.0 DAE, and root dry weight at 42.1 DAE. The completion of the life cycle occurred on October 22 (68 DAE), approximately 3 wk before the typical first killing frost in Clemson, SC. In summary, turf managers need to address goosegrass that germinates through approximately the first week of September at this location to avoid production of viable seed.

The 1800 m thick preserved remnant of the Tertiary lava succession of Mull and Morvern consists of three basic mantle-derived magma types, with compositions varying from tholeiitic to mildly alkalic, and from picritic basalts to trachytes. This results in a similarly wide range in mineral compositions. Contrary to the suggestions of previous workers the mineral chemistry of the lava succession (in conjunction with published major and trace element chemistry) is strongly supportive of a fractional crystallisation origin for the more evolved lavas.
Resorped and regrown (with more basic material) plagioclase phenocrysts found in the more-evolved are indicative of magma mixing processes involving replenishment of an evolving magma chamber with more-basic magma. Lavas containing 15–20 vol.% plagioclase phenocrysts probably represent eruptions from the top of a magma chamber where flotation cumulates of plagioclase had developed. Fragmental phenocrysts found in some highly plagioclase phyric lavas (from near the top of the preserved lava succession) suggest that the eruption of lavas may have been explosive.

High-SiO2 rocks referred to as oceanic plagiogranites are common within the crustal sequences of ophiolites; however, their mode of petrogenesis is controversial with both late-stage fractional crystallization and partial melting models being proposed. Here, we present new whole-rock data from plagiogranitic dyke-like bodies and lenses from the lower and middle sections of the sheeted dyke complex of the Cretaceous Muslim Bagh Ophiolite, northwestern Pakistan. The plagiogranites have similar geochemical signatures that are inconsistent with them being the fractionation products of the mafic units of the Muslim Bagh Ophiolite. However, the plagiogranites all display very low TiO2 contents (<0.4 wt%), implying that they formed by partial melting of mafic rocks. Melt modelling of a crustal gabbro from the Muslim Bagh Ophiolite shows that the trace-element signature of the plagiogranites can be replicated by 5–10% melting of a crustal hornblende gabbro with amphibole as a residual phase, resulting in a concave-up middle rare Earth element pattern. Compositional similarities between the Muslim Bagh Ophiolite plagiogranites and Archaean TTG (trondhjemite–tonalite–granodiorite) has implications for the generation of juvenile Archaean continental crust. As the Muslim Bagh Ophiolite was derived in a supra-subduction zone, it is suggested that some Archaean TTG may have been derived from melting of mafic upper crust in early subduction-like settings. However, due to the small volume of Muslim Bagh Ophiolite plagiogranites, it is inferred that they can be instructive on the petrogenesis of some, but not all, Archaean TTG.

The Fishguard Volcanic Group represents an excellently preserved example of a volcanic sequence linked to the closure of the Iapetus Ocean. This study re-examines the petrogenesis and proposed tectonic setting for the Llanvirn (467–458 Ma) Fishguard Volcanic Group, South Wales, UK. New major and trace element geochemical data and petrographic observations are used to re-evaluate the magma chamber processes, mantle melting and source region. The new data reveal that the Fishguard Volcanic Group represents a closely related series of basalts, basaltic andesites, dacites and rhyolites originating from a spinel lherzolite source which had been modified by subduction components. The rocks of the Fishguard Volcanic Group are co-genetic and the felsic members are related to the more primitive basalts mainly by low-pressure fractional crystallization. The geochemistry of the lavas was significantly influenced by subduction processes associated with a coeval arc, while significant amounts of assimilation of continental crust along with fractional crystallization appear to have contributed to the compositions of the most evolved lavas. The Fishguard Volcanic Group was erupted into a back-arc basin where extensive rifting but no true seafloor spreading had occurred.

The Rayleigh–Taylor instability of an inclined buoyant cylinder of one very viscous fluid rising through another is examined through linear stability analysis, numerical simulation and experiment. The stability analysis represents linear eigenmodes of a given axial wavenumber as a Fourier series in the azimuthal direction, allowing the use of separable solutions to the Stokes equations in cylindrical polar coordinates. The most unstable wavenumber k∗ is long-wave if both the inclination angle α and the viscosity ratio λ (internal/external) are small; for this case, k∗ ∝ max{α, (λ ln λ−1)1/2} and thus a small angle in experiments can have a significant effect for λ ≪ 1. As α increases, the maximum growth rate decreases and the upward propagation rate of disturbances increases; all disturbances propagate without growth if the cylinder is sufficiently close to vertical, estimated as α ≳ 70°. Results from the linear stability analysis agree with numerical calculations for λ = 1 and experimental observations. A point-force numerical method is used to calculate the development of instability into a chain of individual plumes via a complex three-dimensional flow. Towed-source experiments show that nonlinear interactions between neighbouring plumes are important for α ≳ 20° and that disturbances can propagate out of the system without significant growth for α ≳ 40°.

The interaction between the solidification and convection that occurs when a melt is cooled from above is investigated in a series of three papers. In these papers we consider a two-component melt that partially solidifies to leave a buoyant residual fluid. The solid forms a mushy layer of dendritic crystals, the interstices of which accommodate the residual fluid. The heat extraction through the upper boundary, necessary to promote solidification, drives convection at high Rayleigh numbers in the melt below the mushy layer. The convection enhances the heat transfer from the melt and alters the rate of solidification. In this paper the various phenomena are studied in a series of laboratory experiments in which ice is frozen from aqueous solutions of isopropanol. The experiments are complemented by the development of a general theoretical model in which the mush is treated as a continuum phase with thermodynamic properties that are functions of the local solid fraction. The model, which is based upon principles of equilibrium thermodynamics and local conservation of heat and solute, produces results in good agreement with the experimental data. Careful comparisons between this theory and experiments suggest the need to explore non-equilibrium effects, which are investigated in Parts 2 and 3.

This is the third of a series of papers which investigates the evolution of a binary alloy that is cooled from above and releases buoyant residual fluid as one component of the alloy is preferentially incorporated within the solid. This paper focuses on the compositional zonation that is produced when the melt is completely solidified. Parts 1 and 2 considered the temperature of the cooled boundary to be greater than the eutectic temperature of the alloy so that only partial solidification of the alloy could occur. Here we extend the study by investigating the effects that arise when the cooling temperature is less than the eutectic temperature. The formation of a completely solid layer results, which extends from the cooling plate down to a mushy zone of dendritic crystals and interstitial melt. The melt below this mushy layer is convectively unstable because it is cooled from above. This generates vigorous thermal convection. Eventually the melt becomes completely solidified and a compositionally zoned solid is formed. The solid below the cooling plate is shown to be of fixed bulk composition until it reaches the depth that the interface between the mushy layer and melt occupied when the melt first became saturated. Below this level, the composition of the solid decreases with depth until it merges into the solid growing from the floor, whose composition is nearly equal to that of the heavier component of the alloy. Results of laboratory experiments with aqueous solutions of sodium sulphate are in good agreement with our quantitative predictions. The model is used to give an interpretation of profiles of the composition of magnesium oxide found within solidified komatiite lavas.

The model developed in Part 1 for the solidification and convection that occurs when an alloy is cooled from above is extended to investigate the role of disequilibrium at the mush–liquid interface. Small departures from equilibrium are important because in a convecting system an interfacial temperature below its equilibrium value can drive the bulk temperature of the melt below its liquidus. This behaviour is observed in experiments and can result in crystallization within and at the base of the convecting melt. The additional crystals formed in the interior can settle to the base of the fluid and continue to grow, causing the composition of the melt to change. This ultimately affects the solidification at the roof. The effects of disequilibrium are explored in this paper by replacing the condition of marginal equilibrium at the interface used in the model of Part 1 with a kinetic growth law of the form $\dot{h}_1 = {\cal G}\delta T$, where $\dot{h}_1$ is the rate of advance of the mush–liquid interface, δT is the amount by which the interfacial temperature is below the liquidus temperature of the melt and [Gscr ] is an empirical constant. This modification enables the model to predict very accurately both the growth of the mushy layer and the development of supersaturation in the isopropanol experiments described in Part 1. An additional series of experiments, using aqueous solutions of sodium sulphate, is presented in which the development of supersaturation leads to the internal nucleation and growth of crystals. A further extension of the model is introduced which successfully accounts for this internal crystal growth and the changing composition of the melt. We discuss the implications of this work for geologists studying the formation of igneous rocks. Important conclusions include the facts that cooling the roof of a magma chamber can lead to crystallization at its floor and that vigorous convection can occur in a magma chamber even when there is no initial superheat.

The tholeiitic, columnar (Staffa type) lavas found at, and near, the base of the Tertiary lava succession on the Isle of Mull contrast markedly with overlying transitional tholeiiticalkalic Mull Plateau Group lavas, and as a result previous workers have classed the Staffa type lavas as a distinct group. The Staffa type lavas are among the most contaminated in the British Tertiary Igneous Province and have equilibrated and fractionated at shallow depths within the crust (relative to the overlying Plateau Group lavas), so obscuring the chemical identity of their parental magma. However, Staffa type lavas which are more basic than examples hitherto reported help in the elucidation of the parental magma. It is demonstrated that the Staffa type lavas were derived from a parental magma which was compositionally similar to that of Plateau Group lavas. The primary reasons for the distinctive features of the Staffa type are related to post-mantle melt generation processes, i.e. to extensive crystal fractionation and to crustal contamination at shallow crustal depths. The lavas are compositionally and temporally unrelated to the Hebridean tholeiitic magma types, the Central Mull Tholeiite type and the Skye Preshal More type.
