Abstract
The term ‘alkaline rocks’ comprises alkali basalts, tephrites, phonolites, trachytes and their plutonic equivalents, including carbonatites and lamprophyres. Their study can aid the interpretation of ancient terranes and their geodynamic setting. Alkaline rocks may also host precious- and rare-metal mineralization, the latter representing critical commodities for modern green-energy technologies.
