Abstract

In this study, the Eocene volcanic rocks that crop out in Demirören (Gümüşhane) and its surroundings in the South Zone of the Eastern Pontides were studied mineralogically, petrographically and geochemically. Eocene aged Demirören volcanics are in basaltic andesite, andesite, dacite and rhyolite in composition and consist mainly of plagioclase, alkali feldspar, quartz, hornblende, augite and biotite minerals. These rocks are calc-alkaline in character and have low to high-K content. They are also enriched in large ion lithophile elements (LILEs) and light rare earth elements (LREEs) and depleted in the high field strength elements (HFSEs). The chondrite-normalized rare earth element distributions are concave-shaped with low to medium enrichment (LaN/LuN = 4-16), indicating that the rocks forming the volcanics originated from the same source. Fractional crystallization and minor assimilation ± magma mixing played a role in the development of the volcanites. All these data indicate that the parental magma of the volcanites could possibly be a source of sub-continental lithospheric mantle, enriched by the metasomatism of fluids previously derived from subduction-related.
