Magnetostratigraphic constraints on two-stage eruptions of the Emeishan continental flood basalts

Temporal and spatial variations of high and low contents of Ti basalts in the Permian Emeishan large igneous province (ELIP) of southwest China and Vietnam are crucial for modeling of continental basalt formation and the nature of mantle‐lithosphere interaction. A combined geochemical and magnetostratigraphic study was carried out at Yanyuan in the inner zone of the ELIP. Geochemical results indicate that the basalts are low‐Ti (LT) basalts...
