Magmatic karst reveals dynamics of crystallization and differentiation in basaltic magma chambers
Abstract An understanding of magma chamber dynamics relies on answering three important yet highly controversial questions: where, why, and how magma chambers crystallize and differentiate. Here we report on a new natural phenomenon—the undercut-embayed chamber floor in the Bushveld Complex—which al...
