Mafic-felsic interaction in a high level magma chamber - the Halfmoon Pluton, Stewart Island, New Zealand: implications for understanding arc magmatism
Field evidence from exposed plutonic rocks indicates that mafic-felsic magma interaction is an important process during the construction and evolution of magma chambers. The exhumed, ~140 Ma, Halfmoon Pluton of Stewart Island, New Zealand is characterized by a sequence of mingled mafic sheets and en...
