NotesDid the volcanic rocks in the Oregon Coast Range originate from “magmetism associated with extension of the coast ranges” or did they come from “hot spots associated with mantle plumes,” possibly even related to the Yellowstone hot spot? (p.311) The authors of this paper use geochemical and isotopic data to inform their discussion of the probable origins of these deposits.
