2. Abstract This data set is the 1st part of a mini-series assembling whole-rock chemical data for late-Variscan granites of the Erzgebirge−Vogtland metallogenic province in the German Erzgebirge, in the Saxothuringian Zone of the Variscan Orogen, which is dedicated to the group of P−F-rich Li-mica granites.

Listed are data from the massifs/plutons of Eibenstock in the western Erzgebirge and Annaberg, , Pobershau, and in the central Erzgebirge (Figure 1). All these occurrences represent composite bodies made-up of texturally and geochemically distinct, but cogenetic sub-intrusions, which are associated with intra- und perigranitic aplitic dykes, pegmatitic schlieren, and frequently mineralized quartz veins and greisens (Tables 1-3). These granites exhibit moderately to strongly elevated concentrations of P, F, Li, Rb, Cs, Ta, Sn, W and U, but are low to very low in Ti, Mg, V, Sc, Co, Ni, Sr, Ba, Y, Zr, Hf, Th, and the REEs. Crystal-melt fractionation was the dominant process controlling the evolution of bulk composition in the course of massif/pluton formation. However, metasomatic processes involving late-stage residual melts and high-T late- to postmagmatic fluids became increasingly more important in highly evolved units and have variably modified the abundances of mobile elements (P, F, Li, Rb, Cs, Ba, Sr). Interaction with the various country rocks and infiltration of meteoric low-T fluids have further disturbed the initial chemical patterns.

The data set reports whole-rock geochemical analyses for granites, aplites, and endocontact rocks obtained for the massifs/plutons of Eibenstock, Pobershau, Satzung, Annaberg, and Geyer. Data are provided as separate

excel and csv files. The content of the excel sheet and further information on the granites and regional geology are provided in the data description file.

3. The data set The group pf granites presented here is located in the Erzgebirge−Vogtland metallogenic province, in the Saxothuringian Zone of the Variscan Orogen, at the northern edge of the Bohemian Massif (Figure 1). They belong to five massifs/plutons which are multi-phase, composed of several, compositionally and texturally distinct sub- intrusions (Tables 1-3). These late-collisional, late-Variscan (∼ 321−318(315) Ma), ilmenite-series granites of transitional S−I-type affiliation are highly evolved, rich in Si (∼ 72−77 wt% SiO2), F, P, Li, Rb, Cs, W, Sn, and U, moderately to strongly peraluminous (A/CNK ∼ 1.1−1.4), and genetically associated with coeval Sn−W mineralization. Postmagmatic fluids, which interacted with the rocks several Ma after solidification, have caused additional elemental disturbances, preferentially the removal of trioctahedral mica-bound elements (F, Li, Rb, Cs, Sn) and U. The bulk of the analyzed samples experienced overprinting processes associated with different intensities of elemental enrichment or depletion. Within composite massifs, the earliest formed granites are usually, but not always, the least disturbed. Subsurface samples have usually preserved their original magmatic composition better as surface samples, which, for instance, are extensively depleted in U. The petrography, mineralogy, geochemistry, and isotopic composition of the granites of Eibenstock and Pobershau–Satzung have been described in detail by Förster et al. (1999). Comprehensive information on the petrography and mineralogy of granites of the district, including those from Annaberg and Geyer; is provided by Hösel (1994). The papers by Förster et al. (1999) and Förster and Romer (2010) contain a representative selection of geochemical data, but the bulk of the analyses remained unpublished. Note that more strongly evolved representatives of this granite group as those dealt with here are exposed in the Podlesí stock, in the Czech part of the province (cf. Breiter et al. 1997). Geochemical data for final aplites/pegmatites and their mineralized equivalents are reported by Lehmann and Seltmann (1995) for the Ehrenfriedersdorf granite system. From this location have also been reported a selection of major and trace element data for melt inclusions in quartz, representing the ultimate differentiates of P−F-rich Li-mica granite-melt fractionation (cf. Webster et al. 1997). The evolution culminated in the formation of pegmatitic melts characterized by melt−melt immiscibility that gave rise to the separation into a peraluminous and peralkaline magma batch (cf. Thomas et al. 2006). The data set published here contains the complete pile of data acquired for the granite occurrences Eibenstock, Pobershau, Satzung, Annaberg, and Geyer. Data are provided as separate excel and csv files. Each file (csv without references) contains the information compiled in Table 4.

4. Analytical methods A variety of analytical techniques at GFZ Potsdam were used to obtain whole-rock geochemical data on homogenized rock powders. Several trace elements were analyzed by various methods which allows checks on dissolution procedures and inter-technique calibrations for a given element in a certain concentration range. The major elements were determined by wavelength-dispersion X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) using fused lithium tetraborate discs. Pressed powder pellets were used for Sn measurement by XRF. All XRF analyses were made with an automated Siemens SRS303AS spectrometer using a Rh tube operated at 50 kV and 45 mA. Analysis for fluorine was performed using ion-selective electrodes. Total water and CO2 were determined by combustion - infrared detection. The rare earth elements (REE) plus Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Cs, Ba, Hf, Pb, Th, and U were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS; Perkin-Elmer/Sciex Elan Model 500) according to the method and with the precision and accuracy outlined by Dulski (1994). Analysis for Li, Sc, Co, Ni, Zn, Ga, Nb, Mo, Sn, Sb, Ta, W, Tl, and Bi was performed by ICP-MS (Fisons/VG Plasma Quad PQ 2+) as described by Plessen et al. (1994). Concentrations of Be were determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry on a Varian Liberty 200 ICP-emission spectrometer.
