Geochemical Constraints on the Origin of Primitive Potassic Lavas in the Eastern Virunga Volcanic Province

Abstract Young mafic lavas from the East African Western Rift record melting of subcontinental lithospheric mantle that was metasomatically modified by multiple tectonic events. We report new isotope data from monogenetic cinder cones near Bufumbira, Uganda, in the Virunga Volcanic Field: 87Sr/86Sr ...
