Abstract

Mineralogical, petrographic and mineral chemistry properties are presented for the Middle Eocene aged Aydintepe-Yazyurdu volcanics in the Eastern Pontides (NE Turkey). The studied volcanic rocks are composed of basalt, basaltic andesite, andesite and dacite and their pyroclastic. These rocks contain plagioclase (An39-86), alkali feldspar, quartz, clino-pyroxene (Wo38-48En38-46Fs9-23), ortho-pyroxene (Wo02-03En71-73Fs25-26), amphibole (Mg# = 0.68-0.79), biotite and Fe-Ti oxide minerals. Crystallization temperatures calculated from amphibole-plagioclase and clinopyroxene minerals are 819 °C to 1157 °C, pressure values are 0.14 to 7.79 kbar. Oxygen fugacity (log10 ƒO2) are -11.0 to -12.1 and estimation of water content is between 3.9 and 5.9% calculated by using amphiboles. Based on the obtained data, it is suggested that the magmas had undergone anhydrous and hydrous crystallizations in the shallow to mid-crustal magma chambers.
