Geochemical Systematics of High Arctic Large Igneous Province Continental Tholeiites from Canada - Evidence for Progressive Crustal Contamination in the Plumbing System

Cretaceous High Arctic large igneous province (HALIP) sub-alkaline magmatic rocks in Canada are mostly evolved (MgO 2-7 wt%), sparsely plagioclase + clinopyroxene ± olivine-phyric tholeiitic basalts. There were two main HALIP continental flood basalt (CFB) eruption episodes: 135-120 Ma (Isachsen Fm....
