A group of scientists has made significant progress in unraveling the origins of massif-type anorthosites, a type of igneous rock composed largely of plagioclase that formed exclusively during Earth's middle history. These vast rock formations, some of which cover up to 42,000 square kilometers and are associated with titanium ore deposits, have long puzzled researchers due to varying theories a
