Contrasting styles of Pre‐Cenozoic and Mid‐Tertiary crustal evolution in northern Mexico: Evidence from deep crustal xenoliths from La olivina
The principal deep crustal rock types found at the La Olivina xenolith locality in southeastern Chihuahua, Mexico, are mafic granulites, paragneisses, and intermediate‐ to silic...
Relationship between seismic P‐wave velocity and the composition of anhydrous igneous and meta‐igneous rocks
This study presents a new approach to quantitatively assess the relationship between the composition and seismic P‐wave velocity of anhydrous igneous and meta‐igneous rocks. We ...
Origin of Granulite Terranes and the Formation of the Lowermost Continental Crust
Differences in composition and pressures of equilibration between exposed, regional granulite terranes and suites of granulite xenoliths of crustal origin indicate that granulit...
Seismic velocity structure and composition of the continental crust: A global view
Seismic techniques provide the highest‐resolution measurements of the structure of the crust and have been conducted on a worldwide basis. We summarize the structure of the cont...
