Magmatic stratigraphy in the Bushveld Northern Lobe: continuous geophysical and mineralogical data from the 2950 m Bellevue drillcore
We present a large database of geophysical, petrological and mineralogical measurements for the ~3000 m Bellevue borehole through the entire Upper Zone (UZ) and about half of the Main Zone (MZ) of… Expand

- Geology
- 1 August 2010
The compositions, textures, associated rocks and tectonic environments of anorthosites allow categorization into six different types, some of which show distinct age-restrictions in terrestrial and… Expand
Late Cretaceous magmatism in Madagascar: palaeomagnetic evidence for a stationary Marion hotspot
- T. Torsvik, R. Tucker, L. Ashwal, E. Eide, N. Rakotosolofo, M. Wit
- Geology
- 15 December 1998
Late Cretaceous basaltic volcanics in the Morondava Basin (SW Madagascar) possess high-quality and pre-fold palaeomagnetic data (declination 353.5°, inclination −54.8°, α95 = 2.4°). The… Expand
Deep mantle structure as a reference frame for movements in and on the Earth
- T. Torsvik, R. van der Voo, +6 authors A. Bull
- Geology, Medicine

Significance Since the Pangea supercontinent formed about 320 million years ago, plumes that sourced large igneous provinces and kimberlites have been derived from the edges of two stable… Expand
Late Cretaceous India–Madagascar fit and timing of break‐up related magmatism
- T. Torsvik, R. Tucker, +4 authors P. Venkataramana
- Geology
- 29 October 2000
A U–Pb zircon age of 91.2 ± 0.2 Myr from western India (St. Mary islands) confidently links India with the Late Cretaceous magmatic province in Madagascar (≈ 84–92 Ma), and the U–Pb age is within… Expand
Continental crust beneath southeast Iceland
- T. Torsvik, H. Amundsen, +9 authors B. Jamtveit
- Geography, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 30 March 2015
Significance The Iceland hotspot is widely thought to be the surface expression of a deep mantle plume from the core–mantle boundary that can be traced back in time at least 62 My. However, some… Expand
