Ad. Shebanov et O. Eklund, INTERACTION BETWEEN ACID AND BASITE MAGMAS IN THE HAMMARUDDA COMPLEX,SW FINLAND - P-T CONDITIONS OBTAINED BY MINERALOGICAL THERMOMETRY ANDBAROMETRY, PETROLOGY, 5(2), 1997, pp. 141-166
Indicative rock-forming minerals from a variety of textural components
of mafic hybrid labradorite-bearing enclaves and their host quartz-fe
ldspar rapakivi porphyry of the Hammarudda Complex, Aland Massif, sout
hwestern Finland, were studied to determine the interaction conditions
of the basite and acid magmas. Comparing the composition of the pyrox
enes and hornblende from mafic hybrid enclaves and granitoids, on the
one hand, and from basites in various individual intrusions of the Ala
nd Massif and the Aland-Aboland dike swarm, on the other, we came to t
he conclusion that the enclaves and gabbro-anorthosite-monzodiorite se
ries were produced by the same parental melt. Mineralogical thermomete
rs were employed to determine the crystallization conditions of a seri
es of subsequent mineral assemblages that originated in the course of
basite and acid magma mixing. The basite and acid magmas began interac
ting at a pressure of no less than 5-5.5 kbar and a temperature of at
least 1050-1120 degrees C. The most active hybridization of basite mag
ma fragments occurred at pressures from similar to 4.5 to 1.5-2 kbar a
nd a temperature decreasing from 820-880 to 680-700 degrees C during t
he ascent of the basite and acid magmas along the common conduit. The
acid magma ascended under subisothermal conditions at a temperature of
approximately 730 degrees C or at insignificant heating, which was ca
used by the energy released by crystallizing enclaves in the basite an
d acid magmas. The Hammarudda quartz-feldspar porphyries finished crys
tallizing at P congruent to 1 kbar and T = 630-670 degrees C. The fina
l crystallization of the most hybridized mafic enclaves in the granito
ids proceeded at similar conditions. This was caused by the notable de
crease in the solidus temperatures of the hybrid melts with their incr
easing mixing with acid liquids and simultaneous saturation in volatil
es, which were released by the quartz-feldspar porphyry melt at the de
pth of the intrusion emplacement.
