Scientific paper

Whether or not basaltic rocks can be used as mantle probes depends upon the degree to which their compositions reflect their source regions rather than their subsequent histories. Mantle heterogeneities in the central Arizona Transition Zone were studied, and the degree to which interaction with the crust has modified the lavas masking these original variations was examined. Basalts from a thick sequence of basaltic flows in the Hickey Formation and two younger flows were sampled in order to provide a time transgressive suite of rocks. These rocks were dated and an extensive set of analytical data is now available for them.
