Platoro village northwest to Wolf Creek Pass. Largely subeconomic mineral- 12 Tephri- ization in the other districts has been minimally studied, and relationships to 10 Trachy- postcaldera magmatic activity are not well established; however, mineralization Phono- Trachy- dacite in the Jasper district occurs within a postcaldera pluton at the intersection of Tephrite andesite two caldera-related faults (Lipman, 1974, 1975). Molybdenite vein stockwork 8 Rhyolite Basaltic and copper-lead-zinc vein mineralization (Neuerburg, 1978) and alteration trachy- O (wt%) in the Crater Creek area are localized around plutons and along northwest-​ 2 6 Trachy- andesite Dacite basalt trending faults and dikes.

0 Plutons (Table 1) associated with the postcaldera magmatism at the Pla- 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 toro caldera complex range from diorite to quartz monzonite and are locally SiO2 (wt%) intruded by small aplitic veins (Figs. 3, 4A). The dikes define a similar com- Chiquito Peak Tuff (this study) positional range as the plutons but are texturally more variable, commonly Extracaldera intrusions Chiquito Peak Tuff (Lipman et al.,1996) porphyritic (Fig. 4B), and contain mafic enclaves locally (Fig. 4C). We distinguish Lake Annella andesite Summitville Andesite two groups of the intrusions: (1) those that are within and (2) those that are porphyry Dacite of Fisher Gulch Cat Creek monzonite outside the Platoro caldera complex. Plutons within the caldera (Fig. 2) were Intracaldera intrusions Cataract Creek monzonite emplaced along structures related to subsidence and/or resurgence (Lipman, Alamosa River monzonite Elwood Creek monzonite 1975). Plutons outside the Platoro caldera are less related to specific structures, Alum Creek porphyry Bear Creek monzonite Jasper monzonite Sanidine dacite dikes but many of the dikes are radial to the western caldera boundary. In the Cat Cornwall Mountain quartz monzonite Hornblende andesite-dacite Creek area, east of the caldera, dikes are approximately radial to the Cat Creek porphyry Hornblende dacite dikes dikes pluton. Field, age, and compositional relations suggest that the postcaldera Mafic (andesite) dikes lavas, the dacite of Fisher Gulch and the Summitville Andesite, are also genet- ically associated with Platoro caldera magmatism. Figure 3. Total alkali versus silica diagram (Le Maitre, 2002) for Platoro whole-rock samples. Intracaldera intrusions (in yellow) are displaced to higher total alkalis when compared to samples from intrusions outside the caldera (in blue). Details of analyses are in Table 2, Table S1 Intracaldera Plutons (footnote 1), and Lipman et al. (1996), recalculated volatile free.

Summitville Quartz Monzonite Jasper Monzonite The Summitville quartz monzonite does not crop out but was sampled The Jasper monzonite intrudes the Summitville Andesite along Burnt and from drill core. This intrusion is spatially associated with the Summitville Jasper Creeks and along the Alamosa River (Fig. 2). The texture of the Jasper epithermal Au-Ag deposit and mine (Fig. 2). Sample U449, from a depth of monzonite is heterogeneous, ranging from porphyritic to fine- to medium-​ 1260–1263 m, is equigranular, contains extensive quartz-sericite-pyrite hydro- grained equigranular. Phenocrysts consist of plagioclase, augite, and biotite, thermal alteration, and is cut by quartz-pyrite veins. Primary minerals include within groundmass orthoclase, Fe-Ti oxides, and quartz (Table 1; Fig. 5D). The plagioclase, quartz, alkali feldspar, and minor biotite (Table 1). Bethke et al.

SiO2 content ranges from 62 to 63 wt% (Table 2; Table S1 [footnote 1]; Fig. 3). (2005) suggested that mineralization at Summitville is genetically related to Lipman (1975) suggested that much of the exposed Jasper intrusion is fine this intrusion. Although the Summitville quartz monzonite has not previously grained near its margins, but pervasive hydrothermal argillic alteration has been dated, sanidine and biotite from the mineralization host, the dacite of obscured textures within much of this intrusion. Where less altered, mainly South Mountain, yielded 40Ar/39Ar biotite and sanidine dates of 23.0 ± 0.1 Ma in its interior, the Jasper intrusion is chemically, mineralogically, and textur- and 23.1 ± 0.1 Ma, respectively (Getahun, 1994), indistinguishable from san- ally similar to Alamosa River monzonite that crops out ~5.5 km upstream. idine, biotite, and alunite-alteration ages determined using the K-Ar method Although the intrusion was previously undated, Lipman (1975) concluded that (Mehnert et al., 1973).

For electron probe microanalyzer analyses, a 20 kV, 10 nA beam setup 28.74 ± 0.09 Ma, analytically indistinguishable from that of the Chiquito Peak with a 1 µm spot size was used to measure Si, Al, Ca, Na, K, Fe, Ti, Mg, Mn, Tuff (Lipman et al., 1996; as recalculated to Fish Canyon Tuff standard age of and Cl abundances in the crystal phases (Tables S2–S4 [footnote 1]).
