The geochemistry, mineralogy and igneous petrology of some fracture zone basalts from the southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge

The compositional variation in a suite of oceanic basalts dredged from a fracture zone transecting the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 54°S is quantitatively evaluated in terms of fractional crystallization and crystal accumulation models. Bulk rock chemistry and petrography are used to classify the samples i...
