Mineralogical Evidence

Textural and mineralogical features in the high-K calc-alkaline Kozárovice granodiorite (Hercynian Central Bohemian Pluton, Bohemian Massif) and associated small quartz monzonite masses imply that mixing between acid (granodioritic) and basic (monzonitic/monzogabbroic) magmas was locally petrogenetically significant.Net veining, with acicular apatite and numerous lath-shaped plagioclase crystals present in the quartz monzonite, and abundant mafic microgranular enclaves (MME) in the granodiorite, indicate that as the monzonitic magma was injected into the granodioritic magma chamber, it rapidly cooled and was partly disintegrated by the melt already present. Evidence from cathodoluminescence suggests that the two magmas exchanged early-formed plagioclase crystals. In the quartz monzonite, granodiorite-derived crystals were overgrown by narrow calcic zones, followed by broad, normally zoned sodic rims. In the granodiorite, plagioclase crystals with calcic cores overgrown by normally zoned sodic rims are interpreted as xenocrysts from the monzonite. After thermal adjustment, crystallisation of the monzonitic magma ceased relatively slowly, forming quartz and K-feldspar oikocrysts.Although the whole-rock geochemistry of the quartz monzonite and the MME support magma mixing, major- and trace-element based modelling of the host granodiorite has previously indicated an origin dominated by assimilation and fractional crystallisation. Magma mixing therefore seems to represent a local modifying influence rather than the primary petrogenetic process.

Pyroclastic Fall

Late Miocene to Pliocene volcanism produced lava domes with mafic microgranular enclaves (MMEs), nuée ardentes and pyroclastic fall and flow (ignimbrites) deposits in the WSW and NW of Konya city. All samples are predominantly high K-calc alkaline in composition but calc-alkaline and shoshonitic composition also exist. The felsic volcanics are mainly dacite, andesite, basaltic trachyandesite and rare trachyandesite in compositon. But, the MMEs have basaltic andesite and andesite compositon. SiO2 increases with decreasing TiO2, FeOt, MgO and CaO, suggesting fractional crystallization of mafic minerals. All samples have fractionated chondritenormalised REE pattern (La/YbN: 6.7-18.1), and negative Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu*: 0.67- 0.89), indicating plagioclase fractionation. In primitive mantle-normalized spider diagram, the samples show an enrichment in large ion litophile elements (LILE) such as Cs and Ba, and depletion in high field strength elements (HFSE), e.g. Dy and Y. They show negative Nb, Ta and Ti anomalies, indicating a subduction signature for their genesis. Based on geochemical data, the volcanics are suggested to have been formed by Assimilation-Fractional Crystallization (AFC) and/or magma mixing process. Various geotectonic diagrams imply volcanic arc to post collisional setting for the samples.
