Petrogenesis of the Deccan high-Mg basalts and picrites

Tholeiitic basalts and picrites from the Deccan Traps were used to constrain the pressure and temperature conditions of mantle melting for their origin. Clinopyroxene thermobarometry indicates that all Deccan tholeiites crystallized at low pressures in the upper crust (< 6 kbar/1047–1221 °C). In...
