Cenozoic Volcanism and Crustal Evolution in Northern Mexico:Integrated Studies of Volcanic Rocks and Xenoliths

这个项目是研究最近发现的新捕虏体地点 在晚新生代Camargo玄武岩领域，并继续 中新生代火山岩研究。 一些新网站 有含镁铁质角闪岩的地壳捕虏体套 麻粒岩和镁铁质火成堆积岩，可能代表 地壳的不同层次。 目标是建立 大陆演化的最佳约束模型 火山岩 这个模型将以火山岩为基础， 同生堆积岩、围岩和地幔捕虏体。 这个项目将测试当前的数学模型 是同位素、主元素和微量元素的再生 各种岩石的化学成分

This project is to study new xenolith localities recently found in the late Cenozoic Camargo basalt field, and to continue research on mid-Cenozoic volcanic rocks. Some of the new sites have crustal xenolith suites containing mafic hornblende granulites and mafic igneous cumulates, that may represent different levels of the crust. The objective is to construct the best constrained model possible for the evolution of continental volcanic rocks. This model will be based on the volcanic rocks, contemporaneous cumulates, wall rocks, and mantle xenoliths. This project will test how successful current mathematical models are in reproducing the isotopic, major-element, and trace-element chemistries of the various rock types.
