ABSTRACT

The mid-Miocene Strawberry volcanic fi eld of northeastern Oregon is an exam- ple of intracontinental fl ood volcanism that produced of both tholeiitic and calc- alkaline compositions derived by open-system processes. Until now, these dominantly calc-alkaline lavas have not been considered to have a petrogenetic origin similar to that of the fl ood basalts of the Pacifi c Northwest because of their calc-alkaline composition. These lavas are situated in between and co-erupted with the domi- nant volcanic fi eld of the Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG). Due to the timing, location, and diversity of these erupted units, the Strawberry Volcanics may hold valuable information about the role of crustal modifi cation during large magmatic events such as hotspot volcanism. The earliest eruptions of the Strawberry Volca- nics began at 16.2 Ma and appear continuous to 15.3 Ma, characterized by low-sil- ica . High-silica, A-type rhyolite eruptions followed at 15.3 Ma. The silicic eruptions continued until 14.6 Ma, with an estimated total volume up to ~100 km3. The fi rst eruptions of the intermediate fl ows occurred at 15.6 Ma and contin- ued with both tholeiitic and calc-alkaline, and transitional, lavas until 12.5 Ma. Vol- ume estimates of the intermediate lavas are ~1100 km3. The mafi c lavas are sparse (~2% of total volume) and are distributed throughout the upper sequences, and they appear to be near last to arrive at the surface. Herein, we show that the Strawberry Volcanics are not only related in time and space to the Columbia River Basalt, but they also share some chemical traits, specifi cally to the Steens Basalt. Evidence of this similarity includes: overlapping normalized incompatible trace-element pat- terns, selected trace-element ratios, and radiogenic isotopes. Furthermore, we compared the Strawberry to the other mid-Miocene rhyolites of eastern

Oregon associated with the inception of the Yellowstone–Snake River Plain hotspot and found overlapping eruption ages, trace and rare earth element compositions, and “A-type” rhyolite characteristics. This research concludes that the Strawberry Volca- nics were part of the regional basalt to rhyolite magmatism of the Yellowstone–Snake River Plain hotspot.

These group of volcanic rocks that crop out along the southeastern works established the overall calc-alkaline character and preva- margin of the John Day valley of NE Oregon and that are mid- lence of andesitic lavas of this volcanic fi eld (Fig. 2).

Strawberry Volcanics after the 1950s to 1970s was that by Goles et al. (1989), who presented isotopic data for basaltic andesites of the Slide Creek member (Thayer, 1957), located in the NNE por- tion of the fi eld. No other recent data exist on this enigmatic mid- Miocene calc-alkaline volcanic fi eld, which is surrounded by the tholeiitic lavas of the Columbia River Basalt Group. However, these earlier studies have brought to light aspects that make the Strawberry Volcanics an important fi eld to understand, includ- ing: (1) the petrogenetic evolution of a voluminous volcanic fi eld dominated by intracontinental, calc-alkaline andesites; (2) the relationship of mafi c magmas to the surrounding contemporane- ous tholeiitic fl ood basalts of the Columbia River Basalt Group; and (3) the context of the largely unknown rhyolites of the Straw- berry Volcanics compared to other mid-Miocene silicic centers associated with the inception of the Yellowstone–Snake River Plain hotspot (Fig. 3). Lavas of the Columbia River Basalt Group have been heavily studied and have received considerable attention, but the volcanic fi elds spatially and temporally associated with the Figure 3.

However, the studies lava fl ows, and domes to intermediate lava fl ows, all ranging in from Brueseke and Hart (2009) showed that calc-alkaline lavas age from 39 to 22 Ma (Robinson et al., 1984; McClaughry et of intermediate composition from the Santa Rosa–Calico volca- al., 2009; Ferns and McClaughry, 2013).
