Mid-Miocene thermal impact on the lithosphere by sub-lithospheric convective mantle material: Transition from high- to moderate-Mg magmatism beneath Vitim Plateau, Siberia
High-Mg lavas are characteristic of the mid-Miocene volcanism in Inner Asia. In the Vitim Plateau, small volume high-Mg volcanics erupted at 16–14 Ma, and were followed with voluminous moderate-Mg lavas at 14–13 Ma. In the former unit, we have recorded a sequence of (1) initial basaltic melts, conta...
