    Abstract

    Felsic magmatism is often observed in the final stages of the eruption of continental large igneous provinces. The occurrence of these felsic extrusive igneous rocks potentially provides key information on the complex interplay of magmatism and tectonics. In this paper we investigate the timing of eruption of Early Cretaceous felsic magmas associated with the Paraná-Etendeka flood basalt province using the
