Abstract

[Flood basalt provinces, though dominated by tholeiitic basalt and basaltic andesite, in fact contain a great variety of rock types, both subalkalic and alkalic, and ultramafic to silicic. Rhyolites are voluminous in provinces like the Karoo and Paraná provinces, and in the Yellowstone “hotspot track” associated with the Columbia River province. Though volumetrically minor in the Deccan province taken as a whole, rhyolites are important or even dominant in parts of the western and northwestern Deccan situated along the western Indian rifted margin (e.g., Sheth and Pande 2014). Alkalic rock types such as basanites, nephelinites, syenites, trachytes and lamprophyres, along with carbonatites, are found in all or most provinces. Komatiites were important associates of Archaean flood basalts.]
