Crystal scale anatomy of a dying supervolcano: an isotope and geochronology study of individual phenocrysts from voluminous rhyolites of the Yellowstone caldera
A voluminous ([600 km) and long-lived (*520–75 ka) phase of rhyolitic eruptions followed collapse of the Yellowstone caldera 640 ka. Whether these eruptions represent a dying cycle, or the growth of a new magma chamber, remains an important question. We use new U–Th zircon ages and dO values determined by ion microprobe, and sanidine Pb isotope ratios determined by laser ablation, to investigat...
متن کاملPost-caldera volcanism: in situ measurement of U^Pb age and oxygen isotope ratio in Pleistocene zircons from Yellowstone caldera
The Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field, the site of some of the largest known silicic volcanic eruptions, is the present location of NE-migrating hotspot volcanic activity. Most volcanic rocks in the Yellowstone caldera (0.6 Ma), which formed in response to the climactic eruption of 1000 km3 of Lava Creek Tuff (LCT), have unusually low oxygen isotope ratios. Ion microprobe analysis of both U^Pb...
متن کاملRapid heterogeneous assembly of multiple magma reservoirs prior to Yellowstone supereruptions
Large-volume caldera-forming eruptions of silicic magmas are an important feature of continental volcanism. The timescales and mechanisms of assembly of the magma reservoirs that feed such eruptions as well as the durations and physical conditions of upper-crustal storage remain highly debated topics in volcanology. Here we explore a comprehensive data set of isotopic (O, Hf) and chemical proxi...

The Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field is one of the largest centers exchange time to form zoned zircons is between a few hundred and a few thousand years, which reflects the residence time of lowO of rhyolitic magmatism on Earth. Major caldera-forming eruptions are followed by unusual lowO rhyolites. New oxygen isotope, magmas after formation and before eruption. petrologic and geochemical dat...
