Trace Element Discrimination Diagrams for the Tectonic Interpretation of Granitic Rocks

Julian A. Pearce, Nigel Harris, A. G. Tindle · 1 Nov 1984

Granites may be subdivided according to their intrusive settings into four main groups—ocean ridge granites (ORG), volcanic arc granites (VAG), within plate granites (WPG) and collision granites (COLG)—and the granites within each group may be further subdivided according to their precise settings and petrological characteristics. Using a data bank containing over 600 high quality trace…

A Chemical Classification of Volcanic Rocks Based on the Total Alkali-Silica Diagram

M. J. Le Bas, R. W. Le Maitre, A. Streckeisen et al. · 1 Jun 1986

This contribution summarizes and brings up to date the recommendations made by the IUGS Subcommission on the Systematics of Igneous Rocks for the classification of volcanic rocks when modal analyses are lacking. The classification is on a non-genetic basis using the total alkali-silica (TAS) diagram, and is as nearly consistent as possible with the QAPF…

A Geochemical Classification for Granitic Rocks

Carol D. Frost, Calvin G. Barnes, William J. Collins et al. · 1 Nov 2001

This geochemical classification of granitic rocks is based upon three INTRODUCTION variables. These are FeO/(FeO + MgO) = Fe-number [or Although granitoids are the most abundant rock types FeO tot /(FeO tot + MgO) = Fe * ], the modified alkali-lime index in the continental crust, no single classification scheme (MALI) (Na 2 O +…

Continental and Oceanic Crust Recycling-induced Melt-Peridotite Interactions in the Trans-North China Orogen: U-Pb Dating, Hf Isotopes and Trace Elements in Zircons from Mantle Xenoliths

Yongsheng Liu, Shunbao Gao, Zhaoping Hu et al. · 16 Dec 2009

We present the first finding of continental crust-derived Precambrian zircons in garnet/spinel pyroxenite veins within mantle xenoliths carried by the Neogene Hannuoba basalt in the central zone of the North China Craton (NCC). Petrological and geochemical features indicate that these mantle-derived composite xenoliths were formed by silicic melt^lherzolite interaction. The Precambrian zircon ages can be…

Dehydration Melting of Metabasalt at 8–32 kbar: Implications for Continental Growth and Crust-Mantle Recycling

Robert P. Rapp, E. Bruce Watson · 1 Aug 1995

Abstract We report the results of partial melting experiments between 8 and 32 kbar, on four natural amphibolites representative of metamorphosed Archean tholeiite (greenstone), high-alumina basalt, low-potassium tholeiite and alkali-rich basalt. For each rock, we monitor changes in the relative proportions and composition of partial melt and coexisting residual (crystalline) phases from 1000 to 1150°C,…

Journal of Petrology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Petrology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Petrology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Petrology use?
Journal of Petrology uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Journal of Petrology, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Petrology?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Journal of Petrology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Petrology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Petrology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Journal of Petrology?
Journal of Petrology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's Journal of Petrology template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Petrology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Petrology template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Petrology template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Petrology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Petrology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
