Introduction: Extrusive volcanic rocks, such as dacite, andesite, basalto-andesite, basalt… of Chau Thoi and Nui Gio hills in Bien Hoa and Binh Phuoc provinces, southern Viet Nam, characterize volcanic island arc rocks. These rock suites formed as the convergent tectonic between the Indochina and Sibumasu geological blocks. Methods: Geochemical data of rock samples collected on the field were examined and analyzed by the Academia Sinica I E S (Institute of Earth Science, Taiwan and processed with a GCD kit (Geochemical Data Toolkit) to ascertain their characteristics and geotectonic setting. Result: Geochemical data both in major elements and trace elements of the Chau Thoi – Nui Gioshow a specific characteristic of a volcanic island arc environment. Discussion: Chau Thoi and Nui Gio rocks are suitable to correlate to the Permian Thailand Loei Phetchabun volcanic belt. However, at the current time, Chau Thoi and Nui Gio rocks have been classified as Deo Bao Loc formation - late Jurassic to early Cretaceous in ages - belong Truong Son magmatic belt. This magmatic belt resulted from the Yanshanian orogeny by the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific oceanic plate beneath the Eurasia (Indochina) continental plate. More studies needed to be performed, specially geochronological data to support the study. Conclusion: Chau Thoi and Nui Gio rock suites characterize volcanic island arc rocks, products of a convergence tectonic between Indochina and Sibumasu blocks. They are remnants of the Thailand Loei Phetchabun volcanic belt, the first time reported in Vietnam.

Petrochemical data for the Early Llandovery subaerial volcanic rocks at Arisaig, Antigonish Highlands, Nova Scotia, show that they are a bimodal suite of altered rhyolites and basalts of tholeiitic affinity with some alkaline tendencies extruded in a nonorogenic extensional environment within a continental plate. These data do not support the island arc origin frequently inferred for these rocks but are consistent with recent petrological data from the Silurian – Lower Devonian Coastal Volcanic Belt in southern Maine, which may be a strike continuation of the Arisaig volcanics. The close spatial and temporal association of basalts and rhyolites is attributed to anatexis of the crust upon contact with the rising basaltic magma.

This paper describes the geology, geochemistry, and age of two amphibolite facies volcano-plutonic assemblages in the southern Hanson Lake Block and southeastern Glennie Domain of the Paleoproterozoic Trans-Hudson Orogen of east-central Saskatchewan. The Hanson Lake assemblage comprises a mixed suite of subaqueous to subaerial dacitic to rhyolitic (ca. 1875 Ma) and intercalated minor mafic volcanic rocks, overlain by greywackes. Similarly with modern oceanic island arcs, the Hanson Lake assemblage shows evolution from primitive arc tholeiites to evolved calc-alkaline arc rocks. It is intruded by younger subvolcanic alkaline porphyries (ca. 1861 Ma), synvolcanic granitic plutons (ca. 1873 Ma), and the younger Hanson Lake Pluton (ca. 1844 Ma). Rocks of the Northern Lights assemblage are stratigraphically equivalent to the lower portion of the Hanson Lake assemblage and comprise tholeiitic arc pillowed mafic flows and felsic to intermediate volcaniclastic rocks and greywackes, which can be traced as far west as Wapawekka Lake in the south-central part of the Glennie Domain. The Hanson Lake volcanic belt, comprising the Northern Lights and Hanson Lake assemblages, shows strong lithological, geochemical, and geochronological similarities to lithotectonic assemblages of the Flin Flon Domain (Amisk Collage), suggesting that all of these areas may have been part of a more or less continuous island arc complex, extending from Snow Lake to Flin Flon, across the Sturgeon-Weir shear zone into the Hanson Lake Block and across the Tabbernor fault zone into the Glennie Domain.

AbstractThe Lake Ambrose volcanic belt (LAVB) outcrops as a 45 km long northeast-trending belt of mafic and felsic volcanic rocks along the eastern side of the Victoria Lake Group in south-central Newfoundland. It comprises roughly equal proportions of mafic pillow basalt and high silica rhyolite, locally interbedded with epiclastic turbidites. Volcanic rocks have been metamorphosed in the greenschist facies and are extensively carbonatized.U-Pb (zircon) dates from rhyolite at two, widely separated localities give identical ages of 513 ± 2 Ma (Upper Cambrian), and this is interpreted as the eruptive age of the volcanic sequence. Primitive arc and low-K tholeiites can be recognized on the basis of major and trace element geochemistry, ranging from LREE-depleted to LREE-enriched. Geochemical variation between mafic volcanic types is interpreted predominantly to reflect contrasts in source characteristics and degree of partial melting; some variation within each geochemical type attributable to fractional crystallization can be recognized. Detailed examination of some samples indicates that the heavy REE and related elements have locally been mobile, probably as a result of carbonate complexing.The LAVB is the oldest well-dated island arc sequence in Newfoundland, and perhaps in the Appalachian–Caledonian Orogen. Its age requires modification of widely held models for the tectonic history of central Newfoundland. It is older than the oldest known ophiolite, demonstrating that arc volcanism was extant before the generation of the oldest known oceanic crust in this part of Iapetus. It further demonstrates that there was a maximum of approximately 30 Ma between the rift-drift transition which initiated Iapetus, and the initiation of subduction. This suggests that the oceanic sequences preserved in Newfoundland represent a series of arcs and back arc basins marginal to the main Iapetus Ocean, and brings into question whether the Appalachian accreted terranes contain any remnants of normal mid-ocean ridge type Iapetan crust.

The Ziaran volcanic Belt (ZVB), North of Iran contains a number of intra-continental alkaline volcanic range situated on South part of central Alborz Mountains, formed along the localized extensional basins developed in relation with the compressional regime of Eocene. The mid-upper Eocene volcanic suite comprises the extracted melt products of adiabatic decompression melting of the mantle that are represented by small volume intra-continental plate volcanic rocks of alkaline volcanism and their evaluated Rocks with compositions representative of mantle-derived, primary (or near-primary) melts. Trace element patterns with significant enrichment in LILE, HFSE and REEs, relative to Primitive Mantle. Chondrite-normalized of rare earth elements and enrichment in incompatible elements and their element ratios (e. g. LREE/HREE, MREE/HREE, LREE/MREE) shown these element modelling indicates that the magmas were generated by comparably variable degrees of partial melting of garnet lherzolite and a heterogeneous asthenospheric, OIB mantle sources.

Jurassic Accretionary Prism

AbstractWe propose a scheme to subdivide the Samarka terrane, a Jurassic accretionary prism fragment, into tectonostratigraphic complexes. This subdivision provides a basis to study these formations and map them on a medium- to large-scale. Each complex corresponds to a certain stage in the accretionary prism formation. Thus, the complexes composed of subduction mélange and olistostromes (in our case, Ust-Zhuravlevka and Sebuchar complexes), can be correlated to episodes when the underthrusting of seamounts hampered subduction, as evidenced by seamount fragments contained in the complexes. Episodes of relatively quiet subduction have also been identified, resulting in complexes composed mainly of normally bedded terrigenous and biogenic formations (Tudovaka and Udeka and, partially, Ariadnoe complexes). Particularly considered is the Okrainka-Sergeevka allochthonous complex – a fragment of continental plate overhanging a subduction zone. It was included in the accretionary prism during gravitational sliding on the internal slope of the paleotrench. All volcanic rocks in the accretionary prism are allochthonous fragments of the accreted oceanic crust. The absence of the Jurassic-Berriasian volcanic belt related to this prism, as well as synchronous autochthonous volcanism, indicates that the Samarka terrane accretionary prism formed under conditions of flat-slab subduction, similar to modern examples along the Andean margin.

Geochemical Fingerprinting

Identifying the provenance of volcanic rocks can be essential for improving geological maps in the field of geology and providing a tool for the geochemical fingerprinting of ancient artifacts like millstones and anchors in the field of geoarchaeology. This study examines a new approach to this problem by using machine learning algorithms (MLAs). In order to discriminate the four active volcanic regions of the Hellenic Volcanic Arc (HVA) in Southern Greece, MLAs were trained with geochemical data of major elements, acquired from the GEOROC database, of the volcanic rocks of the Hellenic Volcanic Arc (HVA). Ten MLAs were trained with six variations of the same dataset of volcanic rock samples originating from the HVA. The experiments revealed that the Extreme Gradient Boost model achieved the best performance, reaching 93.07% accuracy. The model developed in the framework of this research was used to implement a cloud-based application which is publicly accessible at This application can be used to predict the provenance of a volcanic rock sample, within the area of the HVA, based on its geochemical composition, easily obtained by using the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technique.

Magmatic Suite

The Elaz1g region in eastern Taurus, Turkey, exposes Paleozoic-Tertiary metamorphic, magmatic, and sedimentary units. Contacts between the different units are mostly tectonic, but there are also primary sedimentary, and intrusive contacts. The metamorphic rocks of the Elaz1g region are the Bitlis-Pütürge and Keban-Malatya massifs, which are a single tectonostratigraphic unit that has been tectonically disrupted and fragmented during the Upper Cretaceous. Magmatic rocks in the region are represented by ophiolitic units, magmatic arc products, and young volcanic rocks. The sedimentary units are represented by Upper Cretaceous - Tertiary marine and lacustrine sedimentary rocks. In the study area, the metamorphic units are represented by the Paleozoic Pütürge metamorphic rocks composed of phyllite, slate, mica schist, quartz-muscovite schist, calc-schist, and low-grade metamorphite. The ophiolite that is described in this paper is composed of wehrlite-pyroxenite, gabbro, diabase dykes, and dykes cutting gabbro. These units are cut by the granitic rocks of the Upper Cretaceous Elaz1g magmatic suite. The lithological and geochemical data on the rocks of Kömürhan ophiolite indicate that these rocks were derived from crystallization of an enriched mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB)-type magma. The Kömürhan ophiolite formed in a supra-subduction spreading zone during the Cretaceous; related to this event is the north-dipping subduction of the southern branch of Neo-Tethys ocean, which began spreading in the Late Triassic. The crust was thickened by the development of an island arc and by the thrusting of the Pütürge metamorphic rocks onto this island arc in response to north-south compression during the Late Cretaceous. The magma formed by partial melting of the subducted slab giving rise to granitic rocks that cut the upper parts of the ophiolite. The ophiolite and the Elaz1g magmatic suite attained their present position after the Middle Eocene.

Cretaceous Volcanism

New geochronological and geochemical data on the age and composition of Cretaceous volcanism of Palyavaam River basin (Central Chukotka, Chauna region) are presented. First complex is composed of rhyolites, ignimbrites and felsic tuffs of Chauna Group of Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanic belt (OCVB). Second complex is represented by volcanic rocks of latite-shoshonite series of Early Cretaceous age, distinguished as Etchikun’ Formation. Its origin is still debatable. Some researchers refer deposits of Etchikun’ Formation to magmatic stage before OCVB activity. Other authors include in Chauna Group composition. Obtained data indicate heterogeneity of Etchikun’ Fomation volcanics and allow to divide them in two groups. Andesites of the first group (Etchikun’ Formation sensu stricto) have Early Cretaceous age and belong to magmatic stage before OCVB activity. Andesites of the second group correlate in age and composition with OCVB volcanic rocks. They occur at the base of Chauna Group and indicate homodromous character of volcanism evolution in the Central-Chukotka of Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanic belt.

Stratigraphic Height

The results of detailed mapping and sampling of two sections of Blake River Group volcanic rocks in the Noranda, Quebec region are presented and discussed. The Duparquet section, west of Lac Duparquet, crosses the north limb of a regional synclinorium where the assemblage is more than 40 000 ft thick. Continuity in upper levels of the succession is disrupted by folds, and the relative stratigraphic position of a sequence south of the folds near the synclinorium axis is uncertain but is interpreted as younger. The base of the section is the Porcupine-Destor fault. A subordinate section 40 miles to the east comprises a 12 500-ft thick assemblage overlying Kewagama sediments. Both sections were sampled at 400–500 ft stratigraphic intervals. The samples were analyzed for major elements by X-ray fluorescence and rapid chemical methods and the results checked by classical chemical analyses.Basalts and andesites are predominant rock types. Acidic volcanic rocks, prominent in assemblages a few miles east of the Duparquet section, may be represented by mixed acid–basic fragmental layers that occur in upper levels of the Duparquet section. Pumpellyite and prehnite are indicative of the low metamorphic grade of the rocks.Salient features of the chemistry of the Duparquet section are: (1) Al2O3 increases steadily with stratigraphic height throughout the lower 40 000-ft succession, the upper 15 000 ft of which are high alumina lavas, but is of normal content in the presumed higher levels near the synclinorium axis; (2) iron content and color index decrease markedly and MgO and TiO2 contents moderately with stratigraphic height, but all revert to more normal values in the supposedly higher sequence; (3) the remaining constituents show less distinct trends, but SiO2 and K2O are generally higher in upper levels of the section. In the subordinate section compositions are fairly constant and match those in the lower part of the Duparquet section. Noranda rocks resemble circumoceanic basalts except for markedly lower Al2O3 and K2O.Speculation on causes of the stratigraphic variations in composition are based on recent high-pressure studies. Increasing alumina content with stratigraphic height is attributed to a secular rise in the depth of magma generation from below about 35 km to above. Late production of acidic magmas may be due to eventual melting of parts of the crust.
