U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY A geochemical and isotopic (Nd-Pb) comparison of volcanic rocks erupted during the last 3,550 yrs. B.P. of interplinian activity of Somma- Vesuvius volcano, Southern Italy

چکیده
Detailed stratigraphic sampling of formations from Somma-Vesuvius (Southern Italy) volcano complex erupted during the last 3550 years of inteplinian activity provide a framework for comprehensive chemical analyses and isotopic studies. The evolution of majorand trace-element abundances of these rocks suggest that fractional crystallization together with crustal assimilation are only a partial explanation of the complex processes occurring in the magma chamber. Our Nd and Pb isotopic data point to complex processes involving contributions from heterogeneus lithosphere, assimilation of continental crust, and magma mixing.

Petrography, geochemistry and petrogenesis of Damavand volcano: Comparison of different volcanic generations
1-Introduction Damavand volcano was formed by explosive and non-explosive eruptions on the old eroded rock units (Mesozoic and older) of Central Alborz during the Quaternary period and formed two huge cone (Old and Young Damavand). Davidson et al. (2004) determined the time of Old-Damavand activity from 1800 to 800 thousand years ago by measuring Ar/Ar and U-Th/He methods. According to their ...

Three intrusive granitoid bodies from northwest Saveh, central Iran, are embedded in volcanic sedimentary rocks of the Eocene,forming isolated small outcrops: Khalkhab quartz monzodioritic units (SiO2: ~52-57 wt %) to the northwest, Neshveh granodioriticunits (SiO2: ~62-71 wt %) to the northeast, and Selijerd granodioritic units (SiO2: ~63-69 wt %) to the southeast. The Khalkhab unit iscomposed...
متن کاملDistribution and geochemical variations among paleogene volcanic rocks from the north-central Lut block, eastern Iran
The Lut block in eastern Iran is a micro-continental block within the convergent orogen between the Arabian, Eurasian and Indian plates. Large areas of the north-central, eastern, and western Lut block are covered by volcanic rocks of Paleogene, Neogene and Quaternary age. Peak volcanic activity took place in the north-central part of the Lut block during the Eocene, and then dramatically decr...
متن کاملRapid differentiation in a sill-like magma reservoir: a case study from the campi flegrei caldera
In recent decades, geophysical investigations have detected wide magma reservoirs beneath quiescent calderas. However, the discovery of partially melted horizons inside the crust is not sufficient to put constraints on capability of reservoirs to supply cataclysmic eruptions, which strictly depends on the chemical-physical properties of magmas (composition, viscosity, gas content etc.), and thu...
متن کاملAdakite magmatism within the Sabzevar ophiolite zone, NE Iran: U-Pb geochronology and Sr-Nd isotopic evidences
Numerous post-ophiolite intrusions exposed into the late Cretaceous–Paleocene Sabzevar ophiolite belt, northeast Iran. The intrusions consist of calc-alkaline intermediate to felsic rocks with metaluminous to peraluminous in nature and adakitic affinities. Based on U-Th-Pb dating on separated zircons by SHRIMP Ⅱ, the emplacement age of these rocks into the ophiolite zone is constrained to ~45 M...
