Constraining timescales of focused magmatic accretion and extension in the Afar crust using lava geochronology.
As continental rift zones mature the tectonic and volcanic processes associated with crustal extension become confined to narrow magmatic rift zones, reminiscent of oceanic spreading ridges. The formation of these rift zones and the development of ocean-ridge type topography is a significant milesto...
