Project Hotspot - Petrology, Geochemistry and Stratigraphy of the Kimama core hole, Snake River Plain, Idaho
This submission contains links to two open source published papers on the Kimama core hole, Project Hotspot.
"Volcanic stratigraphy and age model of the Kimama deep borehole (Project Hotspot)" - Basalts erupted in the Snake River Plain of central Idaho and sampled in the Kimama drill core link eruptive processes to the construction of mafic intrusions over 5.5 Ma.
"Evidence for cyclical fractional crystallization, recharge, and assimilation in basalts of the Kimama drill core, central Snake River Plain, Idaho: 5.5-million-years of petrogenesis in a mid-crustal sill complex" - Project Hotspot recovered almost 2 km of continuous drill core from the Kimama borehole, located in central Idaho on the axial volcanic zone. The Kimama drill core represents the most complete record of mafic volcanism along the Yellowstone-Snake River Plain hotspot track.
