A new type of large-scale manifestation of within-plate intrusive trap magmatism (West Siberian Craton)

In terms of the manifestation of within-plate trap magmatism, the Siberian Craton (SC) is comparable only to the large-scale plateau basalt magmatism of oceans [13]. At the present-day erosion level, trap magmatism of the SC with a huge volume of rocks of different facies (2.0 106 km3 [4]) includes...

Summary:In terms of the manifestation of within-plate trap magmatism, the Siberian Craton (SC) is comparable only to the large-scale plateau basalt magmatism of oceans [13]. At the present-day erosion level, trap magmatism of the SC with a huge volume of rocks of different facies (2.0 106 km3 [4]) includes nearly equal proportions of volcanic and intrusive formations.
