Ridge-trench collision-induced switching of arc tectonics and magma sources: clues from Antarctic Peninsula mafic dykes
Compositions and distributions of mafic dykes in the Antarctic Peninsula continental arc show that tapping of several mantle sources was tectonically controlled. In the Cretaceous to Tertiary, between 135 Ma and 55 Ma, calc-alkaline dykes intruded the arc. In the late Cretaceous, however, between 95...
