Bulk Liquid for the Skaergaard Intrusion and Its PGE-Au Mineralization: Composition, Correlation, Liquid Line of Descent, and Timing of Sulphide Saturation and Silicate–Silicate Immiscibility

Abstract Preferred and modelled bulk composition of the Skaergaard intrusion are compared to coeval basaltic compositions in East Greenland and found to relate to the second evolved cycle of Geikie Plateau Formation lavas and coeval Skaergaard-like dikes in major and trace element (Mg# ∼45, Ce/Nb ∼2...
