Volcanic architecture and chemostratigraphy within the Kalkarindji Continental Flood Basalt Province, Northern Territory : implications for eruption style from multiple fissure eruptions

摘要

This thesis was the first to define individual lava flow chemical variation and a detailed definition of the Kalkarindji Continental Flood Basalt Province, a lesser known province of the Phanerozoic eon. This thesis conducted an intensive field study that yielded numerous samples for petrography and chemical analyses as well as the generation of a detailed map of a portion of the Kalkarindji province.
