2 Pantelleria, Italy Strait of Sicily transtensional rift Type locality for pantellerite (strongly peralkaline quartz trachyte and rhyolite) Cinque Denti caldera and related post- caldera vents (45 to 5.5 ka)

10 Crystal Fractionation An assemblage dominated (~86%) by feldspar (Or 35-36 ) with Na-Cpx, Aenigmatite, Fayalite, Ilmenite, and Apatite. F = 76-79% Civetta et al. (1998), Lowenstern and Mahood (1991), White and Parker (2000), White et al. (2003).

11 Alkali feldspar analyses. Sanidine (San) / Anorthoclase (Anr) boundary following Deer et al. (1966)

12 Isobaric projection (P H2O = 980 bars) of the liquidus surface of the 8.3% ae + 8.3% ns plane in the system Ab-Or-Q. (Carmichael and MacKenzie, 1963)

13 Rock compositions follow the “Thermal Valley” of Carmichael and MacKenzie (1963), dominated by fractionation of alkali feldspar (Or 35-36 ). Comparison with experimental data suggests liquidus temperatures decreasing from >825° to 700°C. Most evolved rocks (98527, 98529) located at the minimum (700-705°C) on the cotectic with quartz.

14 Magnetite-Ilmenite Equilibrium two-oxide pairs only found in least evolved samples: 98521-Inc (~63% SiO 2, A.I. ~ 1.17) and 98520 (~64% SiO 2, A.I. ~ 1.33) 98521-Inc: 1005°C, -11.5 log fO 2 98520: 903°C, -13.6 log fO 2 (Andersen and Lindsley, 1988)

15 Clinopyroxene and Olivine analyses. Classification of clinopyroxene following Morimoto et al. (1988)

17 QUIlF: Ilm + TiMt + Fa + Cpx 98521-Inc: 990°C, -11.8 log fO 2. 98520: 886°C, -13.9 log fO 2. –K-spar liquidus temperature: ~820°C (Carmichael and MacKenzie 1963) to ~860°C (Tuttle and Bowen, 1958). Calculated at P = 1000 bars (Lindsley and Frost, 1992; Frost and Lindsley, 1992; Andersen et al., 1993).

18 QUIlF: Ilm + Fa + Cpx 98526: 793°C, -15.2 log fO 2 –K-spar liquidus temperature: ~780°C 98531: 764°C, -15.9 log fO 2 –K-spar liquidus temperature: ~760°C 98523: 756°C, -15.8 log fO 2 –K-spar liquidus temperature: ~760°C –Putirka et al. (2003) CPX-melt: 745°C Calculated at P = 1000 bars. Note: Aenigmatite is present in 98531 and 98523.

19 T-fO 2 Constraints on other (fa-free) assemblages? 98521, 98522: cpx + ilm +ang –740°C (K-spar) to 700°C (Cpx) –Pyrrhotite microphenocrysts = closer to 740°? 98527: cpx + ilm + ang + q + Fe-richterite –705°C (K-spar) to 678°C (Cpx) –Use QUIlF to try to “recover” fO 2 given 700°C and cpx + ilm + q assemblage. (-17.0 +/- 0.4) 98529: cpx + ang + q –700°C (K-spar) to 701°C (Cpx) –Above FMQ in “no-oxides” field (Nicholls and Carmichael, 1969)

20 Comparison of methods

21 Temperature – Oxygen Fugacity

22 Conclusions From least-evolved lava (98520) to most- evolved lava (98529): –SiO 2 increases from ~64 to ~70 wt%. –A.I. increases from 1.33 to 1.97 –Th: 17 to 42, Nb: 253 to 407, Zr: 822 to 2010 –Temperature decreases: 886° to 700°C –Oxygen fugacity decreases: -13.8 to <-17.0

23 Summary Increasing SiO 2, A.I.; Decreasing T-fO 2 : Feldspar compositions remain nearly constant (Or 35-36 ) Continuous Reaction Series: –Augite to Sodic Augite / Aegirine-Augite Discontinuous Reaction Series: –(to ~880°C) Fayalite + Ilmenite + Ti-Magnetite –(to ~780°C) Fayalite + Ilmenite –(to ~760°C) Fayalite + Ilmenite + Aenigmatite –(to ~700°C) Ilmenite + Aenigmatite –(to <700°C) Aenigmatite
