| Abstract/Notes | Abstract Quaternary calc-alkaline andesitic to dacitic lavas effusively erupted on top of about 30 km thick accreted continental crust at Methana peninsula in the western Aegean arc. We present new data of major and trace element concentrations as well as of Sr–Nd–Pb isotope ratios along with mineral compositions of Methana lavas and their mafic enclaves. The enclaves imply a parental basaltic magma and fractional crystallization processes with relatively little crustal assimilation in the deep part of the Methana magma system. The composition of amphibole in some mafic enclaves and lavas indicates deeper crystallization at ∼25 km depth close to the Moho compared with the evolved lavas that formed at <15 km depth. The presence of amphibole and low Ca contents in olivine suggest high water contents of ∼4 wt% in the primitive magmas at Methana. The compositions of andesitic and dacitic lavas reflect fractional crystallization, assimilation of sedimentary material, and magma mixing in the upper 15 km of the crust. The Methana magmas have fO2 of FMQ + 1 to FMQ + 2 (where FMQ is the fayalite–magnetite–quartz buffer) at temperatures of 1200 to 750 °C and the fO2 does not vary systematically from mafic to felsic compositions, suggesting that the mantle wedge was oxidized by sediment subduction. Amphibole is an important fractionating phase in the more evolved Methana magmas and causes significant changes in incompatible element ratios. Although xenocrysts and mineral compositions indicate magma mixing, the major and trace element variation implies only limited mixing between dacitic and basaltic melts. | ||
