Small Hasandag volcano Magma recharge In this study, we have used the MELTS algorithm of Ghiorso and Sack (1995) to determine the initial system Isobaric–isenthalpic magma mixing parameters in terms of temperature (T), pressure (P), oxygen fugacity (fO2), and water content (wt.% H2O) Isobaric–isothermal magma mixing and then evaluated the consequences of magma differentiation under closed system fractional crystallization, MELTS algorithm magma recharge, and magma mixing conditions separately. In order to determine the initial system parameters, we carried out approximately 100 isobaric fractional crystallization simulations of the parental

basaltic magma (Mg#68) in the pressure range of 1 bar to 10,000 bars, an fO2 range of QFM+1 to QFM+3 and at water contents from 0 to 4 wt.%. The best agreement between the computed melt

compositions and the natural rocks was achieved at P=1000 bars, fO2 =QFM+1, and 2 wt.% water. Computations with parental at these initial system conditions and under isobaric fractional crystallization generated melt compositions from basaltic andesite to that are very similar to observed compositions. Compositions more evolved than , however, cannot be produced by closed system fractional crystallization alone. This is because generated by closed system fractional crystallization

have total alkali (Na2O+K2O) values lower than those of the Small Hasandag rhyolites. Furthermore, natural rock compositions in the silica range of 62–65 wt.% show discrete cycles of sudden increase and decrease in the MgO content in the range of 0.5–1 wt.%, suggesting magma replenishment. This study shows that fractional crystallization and magma recharge in the composition range of basaltic andesite to dacite, followed by isobaric–isenthalpic mixing of dacite with the most differentiated rhyolite (Mg#46) generate melt compositions that most closely resemble the entire compositional range of the Small Hasandag lavas, including the rhyolites. The agreement between the liquid line of descent defined by the natural lavas and MELTS calculations, and the agreement between the observed mineralogy of the rocks and the calculated order of crystallization support this conclusion. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

1. Introduction Previous studies on the petrology and geochemistry of the Hasandag volcanics have provided a detailed geological map of the Hasandag and The Small Hasandag volcano is one of three calc-alkaline volcanoes in the Small Hasandag volcanoes, as well as descriptions of the regional Central Anatolia, the others being the Hasandag volcano and the Erciyes stratigraphy, of lava flows and pyroclastic materials, and some age volcano (Fig. 1). It has erupted many times during the past 7 Ma, determinations based on K/Ar isotopes (Aydar and Gourgaud, 1998; covering a large part of this region with lava flows and pyroclastic Daniel et al., 1998; Ercan et al., 1990).

This is clearly not true because crystal such calculations the intensive variables of mixing (e.g. P, T, and fO2)are fractionation can take place under isobaric (Druitt and Bacon, 1989) not specified, yet these variables can alter the results of the calculations or polybaric (Kuritani, 1999), or isentropic (Blundy and Cashman, significantly.

The liquidus temperature of the pertinent basaltic andesite magma at 1000 bars and fO2 =QFM+1 is approximately 1200 °C. In calculating the isobaric crystal fractionation model, the temperature of the magma is reduced 10 °C at each step of the crystallization process. The melt compositions calculated under isobaric fractional crystallization conditions are shown with the compositions of the

Small Hasandag rocks in Fig. 8. These figures show in terms of SiO2vs TiO2,Al2O3, FeO*, MgO, and CaO bivariate plots that isobaric fractional crystallization of basaltic andesite magma cannot produce a liquid line of descent that corresponds well with the chemical trend of the Small Hasandag rocks. The decrease in FeO* and MgO reflects crystallization of Mg rich olivine and orthopyroxene (Fig. 8c and d); decrease in TiO2 and FeO* is in response to crystallization of Fe–Ti oxides (Fig. 8a and c); decrease in Al2O3 and CaO corresponds to crystallization of plagioclase (Fig. 8b and e) and decrease in MgO, CaO and Al2O3 corresponds to crystallization of clinopyroxene (Fig. 8d and e). Although, the calculated melt compositions are mostly in agreement with the Small Hasandag rock compositions in some bivariate plots, including SiO2–TiO2, SiO2–FeO*, SiO2–CaO, and SiO2–K2O, there are still major discrepancies in the SiO2–Al2O3 and SiO2–MgO plots. In calculations involving isobaric crystal fractionation of basaltic - ite, simulated melt compositions show lower FeO* and much lower

Al2O3 at a given SiO2 and somewhat lower MgO values compared to those of the Small Hasandag (Fig. 8b). Although computations based on isobaric fractional crystallization of the parental basaltic andesite can generate the rock compositions from basaltic andesite to dacite as shown on the total alkali–SiO2 diagram, our results show that the rhyolitic compositions produced by closed system fractionation have lower total alkali (Na2O+K2O) values compared to the natural rocks (Fig. 3a). Also in the total alkali– Fig. 9. a. SiO2–MgO plot for the Small Hasandag compositions from basaltic andesite to SiO diagram, there is a gap between these higher alkali rhyolites and 2 rhyolite, b.

Therefore, we reject the hypothesis that the mode evolved primary magma, the MgO content of the mixed magma of crystallization controlling the evolution of the Small Hasandag increases, and isobaric fractional crystallization subsequently causes magmas is simple closed system fractional crystallization, and now MgO to decrease. We believe it is this process of repeated magma test the magma recharge and magma mixing hypotheses. recharge that caused the MgO fluctuations in the SiO2–MgO plot shown in Fig. 9a and b. 6.

In the SiO2–MgO plot (Fig. 8d), the Small Hasandag lavas show 7. Extending the hypothesis: isobaric–isenthalpic magma mixing fluctuations in MgO in the SiO2 range of 62 to 65 wt.%. These oscillations of MgO as SiO2 increases can be interpreted as evidence Magma mixing can be treated as an isothermal or isenthalpic for magma recharge. Fig. 9a shows the SiO2–MgO plot for the Small process. Geologically an isothermal process is improbable because it Hasandag compositions from basaltic andesite to rhyolite and Fig. 9b requires that both the resident magma and mixing magma be at the shows the part of Fig. 9a in the SiO2 interval from 62 wt.% to 65 wt.%. same temperature. Since magma mixing by and large involves mixing There are 12 oscillations in MgO in the silica range of 62–65 wt.% and of a more primitive magma (presumably at a higher temperature) most of these oscillations are in the range of 0.5–1% of MgO or with a more differentiated magma (typically at a lower temperature), sometimes even greater than 1%. isobaric–isothermal conditions are unrealistic for magma mixing.

To illustrate our two-step model for the Small Hasandag volcano we will assume that the initial injection of basaltic andesite magma into a 7.0 shallow magma chamber is followed by repeated recharge by magma 6.0 injected under isothermal conditions and finally by the isenthalpic mixing of the last dacitic liquid with a rhyolitic magma which is common 5.0 at the Hasandag volcanic province during Neovolcano stage (b1Ma). In order to model the evolution of the Small Hasandag volcano, we 4.0 used Ghiorso and Sacks (1995) MELTS software in this two-step 3.0 differentiation process. We started at the liquidus temperature of the MgO (wt %) parental basaltic andesite (Mg#≈68, Table 1) and, after it differentiated 2.0 a little under isobaric conditions, added 5% of the parental basaltic andesite to the remaining composition. Then, we mixed 5% of a hotter, 1.0 fi nal dacitic composition (at the end of the fractionation and recharge) 0.0 with a cooler 95% rhyolitic magma (Mg#≈46, Table 1) under isobaric– 56.3 62.1 62.9 62.5 63.0 62.9 63.4 63.7 64.4 65.5 72.3 75.3 isenthalpic conditions (P=1000 bars, fO2 =QFM+1).

In order to compute the sequence of crystallization for minerals in the model that assumes 12 isothermal recharge with isobaric–isenthalpic mixing, and to compare the minerals generated in this model with our thin section observations 10 of the Small Hasandag rocks, we again used the MELTS algorithm, and allowed the mixed magma to crystallize.
