ABSTRACT

Halliday, A.N., Davidson, J.P., Hildreth, W. and Holden, P., 1991. Modelling the petrogenesis o1 high Rh/Sr silicic mag- mas. In: A. Peccerillo (Guest-Editor), Geochemistry of Granitoid Rocks. Chem. Geol., 92: 107-114.

Rhyolites can be highly evolved with Sr contents as low as 0.1 ppm and Rb/Sr > 2,0(t0. In contrast, batholiths are commonly comprised of rocks with Rb/Sr < l 0 and only rarely > 100. Mass-balance modelling of source compositions, differentiation and contamination using the trace-element geochemistry of are therefi)re commonly in error be- cause of the failure to account for evolved differentiates that may have been erupted from the system. Rhyolitic magmas with very low Sr concentrations ( ~< 1 ppm ) cannot be explained by any partial melting models involving typical crustal source compositions. The only plausible mechanism for the production of such is Rayleigh fiactional crystalli- zalion involving substantial volumes of cumulates. A variety of methods ['or modelling the differentiation of magmas with extremely high Rb/Sr is discussed. In each case it is concluded that the bulk partition coefficients for Sr have to be largc. In the simplest models, the bulk D sr of the most evolved types is modelled as > 50. Evidence from phenocryst/glass/ whole- concentrations supports high Sr partition coefficients in from high silica rhyolites. However, the low modal abundance of plagioclase commonly observed in such rocks is difficult to reconcile with such simple fractionation models of the observed trace-element trends. In certain cases, this may be because the apparent trace-element trend defined by the suite of cogenelic rhyolites is the product of different batches of with separate differentiation histories accumulating in the magma chamber roof zone.
