Abstract

In this study, mineralogical, petrographic, and mineral chemistry analyses of Oligocene-aged Alabalik volcanic rocks (Oltu/Erzurum) in the Eastern Pontides (NE, Turkiye) were revealed. The studied volcanic rocks consist of andesitic, dacitic, and pyroclastic. These rocks consist of plagioclase (An15-44), hornblende (Mg# = 0,632-0,80), biotite (Mg# = 0,62-0,657), augite (Wo44En42Fs15), and Fe-Ti oxide minerals. They generally exhibit hyalomicrolytic porphyritic, glomera porphyritic, cumulative porphyritic, microlitic porphyritic, poikilitic and intersertal textures. In the studied rocks, disequilibrium textures are observed such as oscillatory zoning, sieve texture and corrosion in plagioclase phenocrysts, and resorbed cores and mantles, rounded crytals, and embayed rims in clinopyroxenes. According to thermobarometric calculations, the crystallization temperatures, pressures and oxygen fugacity values of the studied volcanic rocks range from 800 oC to 1027 oC, 0.7 to 8.8 kbar, and -15.2 to -9.0, respectively. The amphibole-derived estimated water content in the studied volcanic rocks vary from 2.6 to 8.2%. Al these features suggests that the magmas that forms the studied volcanic rocks had undergone hydrous crystallizations in the shallow to mid-crustal magma chambers.
