Extensive volcanic fields on the western Arabian Plate have erupted intermittently over the last 30 Ma following emplacement of the Afar flood basalts in Ethiopia. In an effort to better understand the origin of this volcanism in western Saudi Arabia, we analyzed ³He/⁴He, and He, CO₂ and trace element concentrations...

We present 36 new ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar incremental heating age determinations from the Caribbean Large
Igneous Province (CLIP) providing evidence for extended periods of volcanic activity and suggest a new
tectonomagmatic model for the province’s timing and construction. These new ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar ages for the
Curaçao Lava Formation (CLF) and Haiti’s Dumisseau Formation...

Harrat Hutaymah is an alkali basalt volcanic field in north-central Saudi Arabia, at the eastern margin of a large Neogene continental, intraplate magmatic province. Lava flow, tephra and spatter cone compositions in the field include alkali olivine basalts and basanites. These compositions contrast with the predominantly tholeiitic, fissure-fed basalts found...
