Crystallization conditions during the differentiation of the El Metate volcano lavas (Michoacán-Guanajuato Volcanic Field, México)

Abstract

[ES] El Metate es un volcán en escudo situado en el sector sur del Campo Volcánico de Michoacán-Guanajuato, uno de los dos campos volcánicos más grandes del Cinturón Volcánico Transmexicano. Su actividad tuvo lugar aproximadamente 4.700 ± 200 a B.P y produjo más de quince coladas de afinidad calcoalcalina que muestran diferente grado de diferenciación. Las temperaturas calculadas mediante geotermómetros mineral-líquido para olivino, plagioclasa, y piroxenos muestran que la fase más temprana en cristalizar fue el olivino (1232–1198 °C), seguido de plagioclasa (1162–1126 °C), ortopiroxeno (1147–1027 °C) y clinopiroxeno (1147–1018 °C). Las estimaciones de presión sugieren que la cristalización comenzó a ~7 kbar y continuó hasta niveles superficiales. El contenido en agua del fundido durante la cristalización de la plagioclasa fue de ~1.6% en peso. Las temperaturas calculadas a partir del contenido en Al de los anfíboles, indican que cristalizaron entre 995 y 922 °C, a una presión media de 3.5 kbar y con un contenido en H2O del fundido de entre 5.2% y 6.9%. Aunque estos valores estarían de acuerdo con que el anfíbol representa una fase tardía en el proceso de cristalización, el que estos cristales presenten siempre texturas de desequilibrio, que se observan también de forma ocasional en otras fases, sugiere que pueden representar xenocristales y/o que la cristalización de estas lavas ha tenido lugar en sistema abierto.

[EN] El Metate is a shield volcano located in the southern sector of the Michoacan-Guanajuato Volcanic Field, one of two largest monogenetic volcanic fields of the Transmexican Volcanic Belt. It was active c. 4.700 ± 200 years B.P and emitted about fifteen calcalkaline lava flows showing variable differentiation degrees. Temperatures calculated from mineral-liquid geothermobarometers for olivine, plagioclase and pyroxene, suggest that olivine was the earliest fractionating phase (1232-1198 °C), followed by plagioclase (1162-1126 °C), orthopyroxene (1147-1027 °C) and clinopyroxene (1147-1018 °C). Pressure estimations indicate that crystallization started at ∼7 kbar and progressed up to surface levels. Water contents in the melts during crystalliztion of plagioclase is estimated at ∼1.6%. Temperatures calculated on the basis of Al content in amphibole, provide a crystallization range between 995 and 922 °C, at an average pressure of 3.5 kbar and water contents between 5.2% and 6.9%. Although these values could agree with a scenario where amphibole represents a late crystallization phase along the previous fractionating sequence, the systematic presence of disequilibrium textures, which are also observed occasionally in other phases, suggest that other possibilities such as open-system crystallization cannot be discarded.
