Electron microprobe analyses of olivine and oxide grains from the Five Fingers lava flows in the northern Harrat Rahat volcanic field, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
We present new electron microprobe analyses of olivine and oxide grains hosted in three young basaltic lava flows located in northern Harrat Rahat, a distributed volcanic field in central-western Saudi Arabia.These lavas, collectively referred to as the Five Fingers, erupted at ca. 24 ka from three elongate vent complexes that fall along a common lineament. Integrated with existing geochronology, whole-rock geochemistry, and paleomagnetic data, these data help to understand the petrogenesis and eruption duration of the Five Fingers eruption episode.
