Development of Continental Magmatic Systems: Insights from Amphibole Chemistry of the Altiplano Puna Volcanic Complex, Central Andes AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Manggon Abot for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on July_9, 2009. Title: Development of Continental Magmatic Systems: Insights from Amphi- bole Chemistry of the Altiplano Puna Volcanic Complex, Central Andes. Abstract approved: ____________________________________________________________ Anita L. Grunder The pressure history of a continental magmatic system can be deci- phered by analyzing the composition of amphiboles in the eruptive products where the pressure of equilibration correlates with the depth of the magmatic system. This can reveal vertical evolution of the magma as amphibole com- position varies significantly with temperature and pressure. The Altiplano Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC) is a long-lived and large continental mag- matic system that has produced episodic ignimbrite eruptions during the last 10 m.y. The amphiboles from ignimbrites of the various stages during the 10 Ma history have been analyzed, classified and the pressure and temperature calculated using thermodynamic calculation. The APVC amphiboles are cal- cic amphiboles and are magnesiohornblende, tschermakite, magnesiohast- ingsite, and edenite based on the Leake et al. (1997) classification and based on the Deer et al. (1992) scheme. The amphiboles are also calcic, namely, hornblende, tschermakite, pargasite, and edenite. They are broadly similar to amphiboles from other calc-alkaline dacitic systems through space and time. The calculated P-T conditions range from 0.2 to 2.5 kbar and 765oC to 871oC. The P-T conditions are generally similar throughout the 10 Ma time frame of the APVC, although higher minimum and maximum pressures are recorded in the most voluminous 4 Ma pulse. The APVC magmas are repre- sentative of calc-alkaline dacitic magmas associated with subduction and therefore it is a useful model for how large calc-alkaline dacitic systems might evolve. The lack of an obvious trend in P and T with time during the 10 million years history of the APVC, suggests that evolution of dacitic magmas prior to eruption is limited to a narrow depth range in the crust, which is probably pri- marily controlled by the density of the magmas. ©Copyright by Manggon Abot July 9, 2009 All Rights Reserved Development of Continental Magmatic Systems: Insights from Amphibole Chemistry of the Altiplano Puna Volcanic Complex, Central Andes. by Manggon Abot A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Presented July 9, 2009 Commencement June 2010 Master of Science thesis of Manggon Abot presented on July 9, 2009.

Introduction 1.1 Purpose and Scope This study was undertaken to gain an understanding of the vertical de- velopment and evolution of the Altiplano Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC) continental magmatic system by using amphibole chemistry to test the hy- pothesis that the APVC magmatic system is getting shallower with time. This study focused on the texture, composition and mineralogy of the amphibole phenocrysts and microphenocrysts that are susceptible to changes in pres- sure and temperature. Amphibole is a common phenocryst in all samples evaluated and the pattern of compositional profiles in amphibole portrays the temporal evolution of pressure and temperature in the magma system in gen- eral (Spear, 1981; Hammarstrom and Zen, 1986; Vyhnal et al., 1991). The changes of compositional profiles recorded in amphibole could also be inter- preted

VOTYAKOV Institute of Geology and Geochemistry, RussianAcademy of Sciences,Pochtoty per., 7, Eknterinburg, 620151, Russia Assrnecr Previously published and new data on the composition of coexisting biotite and homblende from granitic and metamorphic rocks show that the degree of iron oxidation, R [= Fe3*/(Fe2*+ Fe3*)], is different in these two minerals; the R of hornblende is greater. Granulite-facies minerals have the greatest difference in R, whereas in granitic rocks, those minerals show the least difference The oxidation of biotite and hornblende under high-level conditions is accompaniedby the crystallization of magnet- ite, and newly formed oxidized mafic minerals have a lower Fe/(Fe + Mg) and R than the original ones. Under mesozonal and catazonalconditions, the increasein pressureprevents the formation of magnetite, and oxidation is accompaniedby a significant increase in R; these changes in the chemical composition of hornblende are supplementedby an increase in Al. Since the Al content of homblende is known to be an indicator of pressure, such a correlation of R and Fer+ content with aluminum content points to an increaseof theseparameters with a rise of pressure Keywords:biotite, hornblende,oxidation ratio, granitic rocks, metamorphic rocks, epizonal plutons, mesozonalplutons , cat^7'onal plutons.

Lipmanb aSection des Sciences de la Terre de l’Universite´ de Gene`ve, 13, Rue des Maraıˆchers, 1211 Geneva 4, Switzerland bUS Geological Survey, 345 Middlefield Rd, Menlo Park, CA, USA Received 26 May 1999; received in revised form 8 November 1999; accepted 8 November 1999 Abstract The Pagosa Peak Dacite is an unusual pyroclastic deposit that immediately predated eruption of the enormous Fish Canyon Tuff (ϳ5000 km3) from the La Garita caldera at 28 Ma. The Pagosa Peak Dacite is thick (to 1 km), voluminous (Ͼ200 km3), and has a high aspect ratio (1:50) similar to those of silicic lava flows. It contains a high proportion (40–60%) of juvenile clasts (to 3–4 m) emplaced as viscous magma that was less vesiculated than typical pumice. Accidental lithic fragments are absent above the basal 5–10% of the unit. Thick densely welded proximal deposits flowed rheomorphically due to gravitational spreading, despite the very high viscosity of the crystal-rich magma, resulting in a macroscopic appearance similar to flow- layered silicic lava. Although it is a separate depositional unit, the Pagosa Peak Dacite is indistinguishable from the overlying Fish Canyon Tuff in bulk-rock chemistry, phenocryst compositions, and 40Ar/39Ar age. The unusual characteristics of this deposit are interpreted as consequences of eruption by low-column pyroclastic fountaining and lateral transport as dense, poorly inflated pyroclastic flows.

  • Constraining Upper Crustal Magmas in the N. Chilean Andes Chuck
    Constraining Upper Crustal Magmas in the N. Chilean Andes Chuck Lewis College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences Oregon State University Senior thesis June 3rd 2020 Advisor: Professor Shanaka de Silva Abstract The 4.59-4.18 Ma Caspana ignimbrite, found within the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC), is the result of an ~8km3 eruption that took place during the Neogene Ignimbrite Flare- up in the N. Chilean Andes. While most of the eruptions during this flare up are large, monogenetic eruptions, the Caspana that is characterized by a compositional gap of ~16% SiO2 between the parental andesite and daughter rhyolite. The rhyolitic plinian fallout is distinct in composition from the majority rhyolite but is also the result of fractionation from andesite. The andesitic magma in the Caspana system are shown to represent some of the most mafic magma that was recharging the upper crustal chambers in the APVC, though all the andesites seem to share a similar signature. Depth estimates and spatial locality place the chamber at the edge of the large thermal anomaly known as the Altiplano-Puna Magma Body (APMB), where cooling would allow for dense solidification during the waning stages of mantle flux. During an initial period of cooling, the system rapidly fractionated along a shallow cotectic and produced the first of two rhyolites. The system was remobilized following recharge and renewed convection produced the second of two rhyolites and fractionation models are shown for both crystallization sequences. The bulk rhyolitic pumice contains fayalite, amongst other Fe-rich minerals, that indicate low Fe3+/Fe2+. Oxidation state in the rhyolite was likely due to the crystallization of orthopyroxene in the presence of magnetite in the parental andesite.

  • Amphibole–Melt Disequilibrium in Silicic Melt of the Aso-4 Caldera
    Ishibashi et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2018) 70:137 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623-018-0907-4 FULL PAPER Open Access Amphibole–melt disequilibrium in silicic melt of the Aso‑4 caldera‑forming eruption at Aso Volcano, SW Japan Hidemi Ishibashi1*, Yukiko Suwa1, Masaya Miyoshi2, Atsushi Yasuda3 and Natsumi Hokanishi3 Abstract The most recent and largest caldera-forming eruption occurred at ~ 90 ka at Aso Volcano, SW Japan, and is known as the “Aso-4 eruption.” We performed chemical analyses of amphibole phenocrysts from Aso-4 pyroclasts collected from the initial and largest pyroclastic unit (4I-1) of the eruption to infer the composition–temperature–pressure conditions of the melt that crystallized amphibole phenocrysts. Each amphibole phenocryst is largely chemically homogeneous, but inter-grain chemical variation is observed. Geothermometry, geobarometry, and melt–SiO2 relationships based on amphibole single-phase compositions reveal that most amphibole phenocrysts were in equilibrium with hydrous SiOmelt melt comprising ~ 63–69 wt% ­SiO2 ( 2 ) at 910–950 °C, although several grains were crystallized from more mafc and higher-temperature melts (~ 57–60.5 wt% ­SiO2 and 965–980 °C). The amphibole temperatures are comparable with those previously estimated from two-pyroxene geothermometry, but are much higher than temperatures previ- melt ously estimated from Fe–Ti oxide geothermometry. The estimated SiO2 contents are lower than that of the host melt in the 4I-1 pyroclasts. Chemical and thermal disequilibrium between the amphibole rims and the host melt, as well as intra-grain homogeneity and inter-grain heterogeneity of amphibole compositions, suggests that these amphiboles were incorporated into the host melt immediately prior to the caldera-forming eruption.

Cummingtonite is mainly produced under amphibolite-facies conditions, but the entire stability range cover at least a field of 400 to 800° C, at pressures between <1 to 15 kbar (Evans and Ghiorso, 1995, Ghiorso et al., 1995). Natural cummingtonite occurs in several metamorphic rock types (i.e. Kisch & Warnaars, 1969, Choudhuri, 1972) and also can coexist with incipient melt in high-grade gneisses in deep- crustal levels (Kenah and Hollister, 1983). For igneous rocks, cummingtonite had been described in some rhyolites at Taupo Zone, New Zealand (Wood & Carmichael, 1973) and as a stable phase in plutonic rocks (e.g. Bues et al., 2002). In the present study, we describe the occurrence of cummingtonite in Upper Palaeozoic plutonic rocks and their amphibolite xenoliths from the Nahuelbuta Mountains, south central Chile (37°-38°S, for location see fig.
