We examine the connected history of dacite-dominant volcanic rocks of the Tschicoma Formation, erupted between 5.5 and 2 Ma from the Jemez Mountains volcanic field, western USA. Zircon samples from two separate eruptions have continuous SHRIMP U–Pb age spectra spanning 0.84–1.08 Myr duration (3.12–3.96 Ma and 3.50–4.58 Ma, respectively), following an episode of zircon crystallization 0.28–0.50 Myr earlier (at 4.46 Ma and 4.86 Ma, respectively). Zircon chemical variations, as well as ubiquitous resorption textures that commonly show large core-rim age differences (up to 720–740 kyr), suggest that they grew in separate melt lenses. Zircons were likely stored at near-solidus or even sub-solidus conditions after crystallization, but may have been reactivated in response to at least four major magma recharge events every 300–400 kyr and smaller events in between. A cycle of zircon dissolution (from heating), recrystallization (during cooling), and storage repeated in different locations in the Tschicoma mush system throughout its lifespan; each recharge-induced heating stage may last for several hundred to more than a thousand years based on calculations of zircon dissolution. We envisage the melt lenses to be distributed in a crystal mush zone, coalescing into a single magma batch as magma recharge occurs shortly before eruption. Once active, increasing magma supply rates may trigger large-scale partial melting of the pre-existing mush and caldera-forming eruptions.

美国西部杰梅斯山脉火山场的长寿命英安岩岩浆系统和补给动态
我们研究了 Tschicoma 组的英安岩为主的火山岩的相关历史,该火山岩在 5.5 到 2 Ma 之间从美国西部的 Jemez 山脉火山场喷发。来自两次独立喷发的锆石样品具有连续的 SHRIMP U-Pb 年龄光谱,持续时间为 0.84-1.08 Myr(分别为 3.12-3.96 Ma 和 3.50-4.58 Ma),之后锆石结晶事件早于 0.28-0.50 Myr(在 4.46 Ma 和分别为 4.86 毫安)。锆石化学变化以及普遍存在的吸收纹理通常显示出较大的核心边缘年龄差异(高达 720-740 kyr),表明它们在单独的熔体透镜中生长。锆石在结晶后很可能储存在接近固相线甚至亚固相线的条件下,但可能已经重新激活,以响应每 300-400 kyr 至少四次主要岩浆补给事件以及介于两者之间的较小事件。锆石溶解(加热)、重结晶(冷却期间)和储存的循环在木薯糊系统的整个生命周期内的不同位置重复;根据锆石溶解的计算,每个再充电引起的加热阶段可能会持续几百到一千年以上。我们设想熔体透镜分布在一个水晶糊状区域中,随着岩浆补给在喷发前不久发生,合并成一个岩浆批次。一旦活跃,增加的岩浆供应率可能会引发预先存在的糊状物和形成火山口的喷发的大规模部分融化。并且在 Tschicoma 糊状物系统的整个生命周期中的不同位置重复储存;根据锆石溶解的计算,每个再充电引起的加热阶段可能会持续几百到一千年以上。我们设想熔体透镜分布在一个水晶糊状区域中,随着岩浆补给在喷发前不久发生,合并成一个岩浆批次。一旦活跃,增加的岩浆供应率可能会引发预先存在的糊状物和形成火山口的喷发的大规模部分融化。并且在 Tschicoma 糊状物系统的整个生命周期中的不同位置重复储存;根据锆石溶解的计算,每个再充电引起的加热阶段可能会持续几百到一千年以上。我们设想熔体透镜分布在一个水晶糊状区域中,随着岩浆补给在喷发前不久发生,合并成一个岩浆批次。一旦活跃,增加的岩浆供应率可能会引发预先存在的糊状物和形成火山口的喷发的大规模部分融化。随着岩浆补给发生在喷发前不久,凝聚成一个单一的岩浆批次。一旦活跃,增加的岩浆供应率可能会引发预先存在的糊状物和形成火山口的喷发的大规模部分融化。随着岩浆补给发生在喷发前不久,凝聚成一个单一的岩浆批次。一旦活跃,增加的岩浆供应率可能会引发预先存在的糊状物和形成火山口的喷发的大规模部分融化。
