Abstract

The hypothesis that hotspots are the sources of many continental flood basalts is evaluated geochemically for the proposed Rajmahal Traps-Ninetyeast Ridge-Kerguelen hotspot system. It appears that the Kerguelen hotspot did not directly feed Rajmahal magmas, although it may have provided a source of heat for Rajmahal activity.
