  • A petrogenetic model for the Caribbean large igneous province

    Creator:
    Krawl, Kyle A.
    Abstract:
    The Caribbean Plateau is an oceanic large igneous province (CLIP). A widely accepted model for LIP petrogenesis proposes that these large bodies of igneous rock are formed by decompression melting associated with upwelling mantle plume heads during the initiation of hotspot activity. According to this classical model, petrogenesis occurs over...

  • A Geochemical Model for the Petrogenesis of the Curaçao Lava Formation: Implications for the Origin of the Caribbean Plateau

    Creator:
    Krawl, Kyle A.
    Abstract:
    The Curaçao Lava Formation (CLF) records the magmatic and tectonic processes that formed the Caribbean Large Igneous Province (CLIP). A model of the petrogenesis of the CLF was developed using new geochemical and geochronological data. These data include major element compositions obtained using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), trace element concentrations...
