Erratum to high-Ti and low-Ti mafic potassic magmas: Key to plume-lithosphere interactions and continental flood-basalt genesis

Abstract

The role of mantle plumes in the genesis of continental flood-basalts (CFB) remains controversial, primarily due to our limited knowledge of the composition of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM). In this study we use the widespread Cretaceous mafic potassic magmatic rocks, emplaced around the margins of the Paraná sedimentary basin, to probe large-scale compositional variations of the SCLM beneath southern Brazil and Paraguay. On the …
