Plume-induced lithospheric uplift and erosion are widely regarded as key features of large igneous province (LIP) emplacement, as is the coincidence of LIP eruption with major extinction and oceanic anoxic events (OAE). The Emeishan LIP, which erupte...

Journal Article
Marshall, P. E., Widdowson, M., & Murphy, D. T. (2016). The Giant Lavas of Kalkarindji: Rubbly pāhoehoe lava in an ancient continental flood basalt province. Palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology, palaeoecology, 441(1), 22-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2015.05.006

© 2015 Elsevier B.V. The Kalkarindji continental flood basalt province of northern Australia erupted in the mid Cambrian (c. 511-505Ma). It now consists of scattered basaltic lava fields, the most extensive being the Antrim Plateau Volcanics (APV) -...
