Titania and alumina content of oceanic and circumoceanic basalt

Felix Chayes

Open publisher page 28 citations

Abstract

Summary Most circumoceanic basalts contain less and most oceanic basalts considerably more than 1·75% of TiO2. The difference of TiO2 averages is large enough to require rejection of the hypothesis that circumoeeanie basalt results from the assimilation of sial by oceanic basalt.
