The 16.4Ma old Bogács Ignimbrite, located south of the Bükk Mountains, northern Hungary, was formed during a silicic ignimbrite flare-up in the Pannonian Basin that occurred from 20Ma to 13Ma. It comprises two main units, a lower, variably welded pumiceous and an upper, scoriaceous pyroclastic flow unit. Bulk chemistry of the juvenile clasts indicates a gradual change of geochemical character with an upward decreasing SiO 2 content through the stratigraphic section. A detailed in-situ major and trace element investigation of the main mineral phases and glasses combined with petrogenetic model calculations reveals complex magma reservoir processes. Based on the major and trace element variability, six juvenile clast types were distinguished and each contain fresh glass fractions with distinct compositions. The mineral assemblage consists of plagioclase, orthopyroxene, biotite with minor and variable amounts of quartz, amphibole, ilmenite, zircon and allanite. The anorthite content of the plagioclases varies from 20 to 90mol%, whilst the Enstatite content of orthopyroxenes covers also a wide range from 40 to 90mol%. This large compositional variation can be detected even in single crystals. This extreme geochemical variability can be explained by mixing of crystal mush bodies evolved from both basaltic and more silicic magmas. The calcic plagioclases (An=80-90mol%) and magnesian orthopyroxenes (En=70-90mol%) clearly indicate the role of primitive mafic magmas in the growth of the silicic magma reservoir, even though no basaltic volcanic activity was associated with the Miocene silicic volcanism in the Pannonian basin. The prolonged crystallization in the mushy sills resulted in compositionally different residual melt fractions that moved upwards and accumulated in separated melt pods at the roof of the magma reservoir. Intermittent intrusions of mafic and intermediate magmas into this silicic magma system could have resulted in thorough stirring of the crystal mush bodies and the melt pods, leading to eruptive products having compositionally heterogeneous glass and mineral assemblage

The lithospheric mantle and lower crust-mantle relationships under Scotland: a xenolithic perspective

In the British Isles the majority of volcanic rocks containing upper mantle and lower crustal xenoliths occur in Scotland. Most of the occurrences are of Carboniferous–Permian age. This paper presents new data on the mineral chemistry of spinel lherzolite xenoliths from the five principal Scottish tectonic terranes. Compositional variations among the minerals emphasize the broad lateral heterogeneity of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle across the region. The remarkable range of Al2O3 v. CaO exhibited by the clinopyroxenes compared with data from other ‘xenolith provinces' emphasizes the extremely complex tectonomagmatic history of the Scottish lithosphere. The generalized age increase from southern and central Scotland to the Northern Highland and Hebridean terranes of the north and NW, with concomitant complexity of geological history, is reflected also by trace element and isotopic studies. Reaction relationships in lherzolites from the Hebridean Terrane, owing to pervasive metasomatism, involve secondary growth of sodic feldspar. This, and light REE enrichment of clinopyroxenes, points to involvement of a natro-carbonatitic melt. Most pyroxenitic xenoliths are inferred to form a basal crustal layer with a generally sharp discontinuity above the underlying (dominantly lherzolitic) mantle. A second discontinuity is inferred to separate these ultramafic cumulates from overlying, broadly cognate metagabbroic cumulates

multi stage history of compound mantle xenoliths from western usa implications for metasomatic processes in the deep mantle

The compound mantle xenoliths from Cima Volcanic Field and Chino Valley (Western U.S.A.) represent outstanding candidates to illustrate the processes that occur prior to their delivery to the surface by alkali-basaltic volcanism. The xenoliths share characteristics like pyroxene zonation, amphibole breakdown and formation of glass and armalcolite. Their petrogenetic evolution involved partial melting of the silicate minerals, infiltration of reactive melts and dissociation of minerals en route to the surface, suggesting that these rocks followed multi-stage histories that initiated deep in the mantle (>1.0 GPa) and proceeded during a very short period of time

The Variscan subduction inheritance in the Southern Alps Sub-Continental Lithospheric Mantle: clues from the Middle Triassic shoshonitic magmatism of the Dolomites (NE Italy)

Although often speculated, the link between the Middle Triassic shoshonitic magmatism at the NE margin of the Adria plate and the subduction-related metasomatism of the Southern Alps Sub-Continental Lithospheric Mantle (SCLM) has never been constrained. In this paper, a detailed geochemical and petrological characterization of the lavas, dykes and ultramafic cumulates belonging to the shoshonitic magmatic event that shaped the Dolomites (Southern Alps) was used to model the composition and evolution of the underlying SCLM in the time comprised between the Variscan subduction and the opening of the Alpine Tethys. Geochemical models and numerical simulations enabled us to define that 5–7% partial melting of an amphibole + phlogopite-bearing spinel lherzolite, similar to the Finero phlogopite peridotite, can account for the composition of the primitive Mid-Triassic SiO2-saturated to -undersaturated melts with shoshonitic affinity (87Sr/86Sri = 0.7032–0.7058; 143Nd/144Ndi = 0.51219–0.51235; Mg # ~ 70; ~1.1 wt% H2O). By taking into account the H2O content documented in mineral phases from the Finero phlogopite peridotite, it is suggested that the Mid-Triassic SCLM source was able to preserve a significant enrichment and volatile content (600–800 ppm H2O) for more than 50 Ma, i.e. since the slab-related metasomatism connected to the Variscan subduction. The partial melting of a Finero-like SCLM represents the exhaustion of the subduction-related signature in the Southern Alps lithosphere that predated the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic asthenospheric upwelling related to the opening of the Alpine Tethys

Origin and ascent history of unusually crystal-rich alkaline basaltic magmas from the western Pannonian Basin

The last eruptions of the monogenetic Bakony-Balaton Highland Volcanic Field (western Pannonian Basin, Hungary) produced unusually crystal- and xenolith-rich alkaline basalts which are unique among the alkaline basalts of the Carpathian- Pannonian Region. Similar alkaline basalts are only rarely known in other volcanic fields of the world. These special basaltic magmas fed the eruptions of two closely located volcanic centres: the Bondoró-hegy and the Füzes-tó scoria cone. Their uncommon enrichment in diverse crystals produced unique rock textures and modified original magma compositions (13.1-14.2 wt.% MgO, 459-657 ppm Cr, 455-564 ppm Ni contents). Detailed mineral-scale textural and chemical analyses revealed that the Bondoró-hegy and Füzes-tó alkaline basaltic magmas have a complex ascent history, and that most of their minerals (~30 vol.% of the rocks) represent foreign crystals derived from different levels of the underlying lithosphere. The most abundant xenocrysts, olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and spinel, were incorporated from different regions and rock types of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle. Megacrysts of clinopyroxene and spinel could have originated from pegmatitic veins / sills which probably represent magmas crystallized near the crust-mantle boundary. Green clinopyroxene xenocrysts could have been derived from lower crustal mafic granulites. Minerals that crystallized in situ from the alkaline basaltic melts (olivine with Cr-spinel inclusions, clinopyroxene, plagioclase, Fe-Ti oxides) are only represented by microphenocrysts and overgrowths on the foreign crystals. The vast amount of peridotitic (most common) and mafic granulitic materials indicates a highly effective interaction between the ascending magmas and wall rocks at lithospheric mantle and lower crustal levels. However, fragments from the middle and upper crust are absent from the studied basalts, suggesting a change in the style (and possibly rate) of magma ascent in the crust. These xenocryst- and xenolith-rich basalts yield divers tools for estimating magma ascent rate that is important for hazard forecasting in monogenetic volcanic fields. According to the estimated ascent rates, the Bondoró-hegy and Füzes-tó alkaline basaltic magmas could have reached the surface within hours to few days, similarly to the estimates for other eruptive centres in the Pannonian Basin which were fed by "normal" (crystal- and xenolith-poor) alkaline basalts

The origin of the Popiel peridotite (Western Sudetes, SW Poland) : metamorphism of the island arc tholeiitic cumulate

A small (280 x 140 m) outcrop of peridotite occurs on Popiel Hill (Sudetes, SW Poland) within the low-grade metabasic rocks of the Rudawy Janowickie Complex, which form the eastern and north-eastern cover of the Variscan Karkonosze granite. The peridotite is situated on the Intra-Sudetic Fault, one of the major Variscan dislocations in the region. The rock consists of strongly tectonised olivine (Fo84-88) and orthopyroxene (Mg# 0.84–0.88) aggregates, overgrown by tremolite-magnesiohornblende, locally forming large crystals, embedded in serpentine. Spinel and magnetite are subordinate; ilmenite, Fe-sulfide, and apatite are accessories. The bulk-rock chemical composition suggests a lherzolitic composition and the occurrence of primary clinopyroxene, now completely replaced by tremolite and magnesiohornblende. Rare Earth Element patterns are flat, slightly enriched relatively to primitive mantle, as is typical of island arc tholeiites. Olivine, orthopyroxene, and spinel were the first to crystallize, and they represent relics of a primary igneous assemblage. They were followed by tremolite and serpentine, formed during uplift and related metamorphism. The last mineral to crystallize was magnesiohornblende, which originated due to contact metamorphism by the Karkonosze granite magma. The Popiel peridotite probably represents a small slice of lherzolitic cumulate, which originated in a tholeiitic magma chamber at the roots of a supra-subduction volcanic arc

Rift and intra-oceanic subduction signatures in the Western Tethys during the Triassic: The case of ultramafic lavas as part of an unusual ultramafic-mafic-felsic suite in Othris, Greece

The Triassic igneous rocks of Othris, Greece, exhibit unusual and extreme compositional variations. Abundant E-MORB and rare OIB alkaline basalts appear to be linked to NW Gondwana (Apulia) margin rifting, Pelagonian microcontinent detachment and opening of the Pindos oceanic strand at Western Tethys. They are spatially associated with wehrlites, ultramafic lavas, picrites, transitional boninites, tholeiitic basaltic andesites and calc-alkaline andesitic to rhyodacitic rocks, whose new geochemical and petrological data suggest that they were formed in a short-lived subduction system, developed shortly after rifting/opening within the Pindos ocean. OIB alkaline basalts seem to have been formed from an enriched, possibly garnet bearing mantle source, while formation of E-MORB basalts may represent partial melts (~. 20%) of an enriched mantle source. The liquidus temperature for the primary rift-related magma is estimated at ~. 1330. °C, while mantle potential temperature reached ~. 1435. °C, with ~. 14. wt.% MgO. Subduction-related rocks were produced after differentiation of primary picritic magma, generated after ~. 32% partial melting of a fertile mantle source within the newly formed mantle wedge. Temperature conditions were similar to those calculated for the rift-related primary magma, but with higher MgO contents (~. 16. wt.%). Olivine and clinopyroxene accumulation of a batch of the subduction-related primary magma led to the formation of ultramafic magma under hydrous conditions. Wehrlites represent ultramafic magma stacked at the bottom of a magma chamber. Ultramafic lavas were formed when ultramafic magma was brought to the surface, most likely with the aid of an upwelling asthenospheric E-MORB flow passing through a slab break-off or by the bottom edge of the infant slab. The remainder of the primary picritic magma underwent variable degrees of fractional crystallization forming transitional boninites and tholeiitic basaltic andesites in a front-arc setting and calc-alkaline intermediate and felsic rocks in places closer to the passive margin of the Pelagonian microcontinent. © 2012 Elsevier B.V
