Petrological and geochemical constraints on the genesis of Mesozoic–Cenozoic magmatism of King George Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica

Petrological and geochemical data are reported for a series of Late Cretaceous-Middle Miocene volcanic, hypabyssal and intrusive rocks from King George Island (KGI) and from nearby Ridley Island, South Shetland Islands. Major element data indicate a calc-alkaline, basic to intermediate composition f...
