A systematic geochemical investigation has been carried out on the Dufek layered mafic intrusion in Antarctica in order to understand the petrogenesis of the intrusion and the origin of the Ferrar igneous group to which the intrusion belongs. For the ∼8-km thick Dufek intrusion, a new two-fraction b...
