The Rustenburg Layered Suite formed as a stack of mush with transient magma chambers
Z. Yao, J. E. Mungall, et al.
This groundbreaking study by Zhuosen Yao, James E. Mungall, and M. Christopher Jenkins challenges the traditional interpretation of the Rustenburg Layered Suite, proposing that its formation is largely due to crustal assimilation of komatiitic magma rather than fractional crystallization in a magma chamber. Discover how magmatic mushes and smaller intrusions may lead to mineral deposits in unexpected ways.
