Petrological and geochemical characteristics of flood and shield basalts from Kesem-Megezez section, northwestern Ethiopian Plateau: Implication for their mantle source variations
The Kesem-Megezez Section is located on the western escarpment of the main Ethiopian rift, central Ethiopia, part of the northwestern Ethiopia plateau, and hosts both flood basalts (Kesem Oligocene basalts) and shield volcano basalts (Megezez Miocene basalts) separated by an Oligo-Miocene silicic py...
