What is Picrite Basalts of Deccan Traps, India about?

The document describes picrite basalts and related lavas from the Deccan Traps of Western India. It analyzes samples from three borehole sequences, finding that the early flows were picrite basalts with high MgO contents. Later flows included basalts and three-phenocryst basalts derived from the picrite basalts through fractional crystallization of olivine and clinopyroxene. The document interprets the crystallization processes and uses chemical and mineralogical data to model magma chamber conditions.
