Book excerpt: Eruption of the Rainier Mesa and Ammonia Tanks Members Timber Mountain Tuff at about 11.5 and 11.3 Ma, respectively, resulted in formation of the timber Mountain (TM) caldera; new K-Ar ages show that volcanism within and around the TM caldera continued for about 1 m.y. after collapse. Some TM age magmatic activity took place west and southeast of the TM caldera in the Beatty -- Bullfrog Hills and Shoshone Mountain areas, suggesting that volcanic activity at the TM caldera was an intense expression of an areally extensive magmatic system active from about 11.5 to 10Ma. Epithermal Au-Ag, Hg and fluorite mineralization and hydrothermal alteration are found in both within and surrounding the Timber Mountain -- Oasis Valley caldera complex. New K-Ar ages date this hydrothermal activity between about 13 and 10 Ma, largely between about 11.5 and 10 Ma, suggesting a genetic relation of hydrothermal activity to the TM magmatic system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distribution and characteristics of individual basaltic volcanoes in the waning Southwestern Nevada Volcanic Field provide insight into the changing physical nature of magmatism and the controls on volcano location. During Pliocene-Pleistocene times the volumes of individual volcanoes have decreased by more than one order of magnitude, as have fissure lengths and inferred lava effusion rates. Eruptions evolved from Hawaiian-style eruptions with extensive lavas to eruptions characterized by small pulses of lava and Strombolian to violent Strombolian mechanisms. These trends indicate progressively decreasing partial melting and length scales, or magmatic footprints, of mantle source zones for individual volcanoes. The location of each volcano is determined by the location of its magmatic footprint at depth, and only by shallow structural and topographic features that are within that footprint. The locations of future volcanoes in a waning system are less likely to be determined by large-scale topography or structures than were older, larger volume volcanoes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yellowstone Plateau Volcanic Fields hosts a long-lived magmatic system that has produced three rhyolitic caldera-forming eruptions over the past 2.1 Ma, as well as numerous intracaldera rhyolitic eruptions between caldera-forming events. Whereas caldera-forming eruptions evacuate a large volume of magma near instantaneously, the eruption of intracaldera rhyolite flows intermittently over ≥ 100 kyr can be viewed as snapshots into an evolving magmatic system and allow the assessment of how large, multi-cyclical silicic magma systems evolve through time. I integrate age, trace-element, and isotopic data for minerals and volcanic glasses from the youngest post-caldera eruptive episode at Yellowstone, which generated the Central Plateau Member (CPM) of the Plateau Rhyolite from ca. 170 ka to 70 ka, to constrain [1] the physical nature of the Yellowstone magmatic system, [2] the processes controlling its compositional evolution, [3] the processes that produce compositional diversity within the eruptive sequence, and [4] the mechanisms/timescales of generating eruptible rhyolitic magmas. Linking 238U-230Th crystallization ages of zircon and sanidine hosted in the CPM rhyolites with their trace-element and isotopic compositions demonstrates that the magma reservoir that sourced the CPM rhyolites is characterized by a long-lived (150 - 250 kyr) and compositionally heterogeneous crystal mush, that is evolving over time to more fractionated trace-element compositions via cooling induced crystallization. While most of the CPM rhyolites show a coherent compositional evolution though time, compositionally anomalous rhyolites can be produced by the mixing of extracaldera magmas with the margin of the main Yellowstone magma reservoir. This highlights the dynamic nature of magmatic interactions that occur at the margins of large magma reservoirs, and represents a process by which compositional diversity within a magmatic suite can be produced. Although the crystal mush that sourced the CPM rhyolites is uneruptible due to its high degree of crystallinity, eruptible magmas are generated by extracting melt and antecrystic zircons (i.e., related to older stages of Yellowstone magmatism) from the crystal mush while the major phases (e.g., sanidine) remain trapped in the locked crystal network. The extracted liquids (plus zircon) are then amalgamated into a liquid dominated (i.e., eruptible) magma body from which autocrystic (i.e., akin to their host melt) sanidines and zircon rims crystallize. These liquid-dominated magma bodies reside in the crust for [less than/equal to] 2 kyr (conservatively
