Abstract

The Mt. Erciyes stratovolcano was built up in an intraplate tectonic environment as a conse­quence of Eurasian and Afro-Arabian continental collision. However, the volcanic products gener­ally exhibit a calc-alkaline character; minor amounts of tholeiitic basalts are also present. Tholeiitic basalts show high Fe2O3, MgO, CaO, low K2O, and depleted Ba, Nb, and especially Rb (2.3-5.97 ppm) contents, low 87Sr/86Sr (0.703344-0.703964), and high 143Nd/144Nd (0.512920-0.512780) iso-topic ratios. These compositional features show that they were derived from a depleted astheno­spheric mantle source, possibly a MORB-like source component. In contrast, calc-alkaline basaltic rocks exhibit relatively high large-ion-lithophile and high-field-strength elements, high 87Sr/86Sr (0.704591-0.70507) and low 143Nd/144Nd (0.51272-0.512394) isotopic ratios.

The bulk-rock chemistry of the tholeiitic basalts reflects the chemical composition of the extracted source component. Furthermore, trace-element concentrations may be calculated from an accepted mantle source component (starting composition) for different degrees of partial melting. These calculations also provide a sensitive approach to the origin of tholeiitic basalts. Modeled trace-element compositions of tholeiitic basalts are calculated from a primitive mantle composition. Calculated trace-element compositions imply that tholeiitic basalts are derived by minor fractional melting (1-1.5 %), in the absence of assimilation or deep-crustal melting. The calc-alkaline basalts were subsequently produced from initially tholeiitic basalts by the way of an AFC (assimilation-fractional crystallization) process, with a crustal assimilation of 10-15 %.

The geochemical data, partial melting, and AFC modeling all indicate that basaltic products have a complex evolutionary history involving partial melting from a MORB-like mantle source. The assimilation and fractional crystallization processes are considered as providing an example for the chemical evolution of basaltic products, from tholeiitic to calc-alkaline, in an intraplate environment.

Introduct ion

THE NEOTECTONIC EVOLUTION of the Anatol ian block is linked to continental collision between the Afro-Arabian and Eurasian plates, during the early and middle Miocene (Sengör, 1980; Sengör and Yil-maz, 1981; Dewey et al., 1986). As a result of this convergence, the Anatolian block has moved to the west along two strike-slip faults, the Northern and Eastern Anatolian faults, and has been deformed (McKenzie, 1972; Sengör, 1980; Jackson and McK-enzie, 1984; Dewey et al., 1986; Chorowicz et al.,

1994; Deniel et a l , 1998) (Fig. 1). Anatolian volca-nism is an outstanding example of arc volcanism related to continental collision (Deniel et al., 1998). In both western and eastern Anatolia, calc-alkaline lavas were p roduced when the compres s iona l regime led to crustal thickening in the late Oli-gocene—Early Miocene in the west and in the Pliocene in the east (Yilmaz, 1990; Deniel et al., 1998). In central Anatolia, plate tectonic recon­structions for the last 13 m.y. (Lyberis et al., 1992) indicate that the subducted African slab did not reach central Anatolia and thus cannot directly account for the present day calc-alkaline volcanism in this area (Aydar et al., 1995).

MT. ERCIYES STRATOVOLCANO 509

FIG. 1. Neotectonic map of the Anatolian block. Major faults and the study area are placed on a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of Anatolia, modified from Köse (2000). Abbreviations: AEZ = Aegean extension zone; NAF = North Anatolian fault; EAF = East Anatolian fault; EF = Ecemis fault; TGF = Tuz Gölü fault. Black arrows indicate the direc­tion of plate motion; black half arrows show the relative direction of motion on the faults.

FIG. 2. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of Mt. Erciyes stratovolcano and locations of some major faults. The DEM was made by digitizing the elevation contours of topographic maps at a scale of 1:25,000, artificially illuminated from the north. The vertical exaggeration is x 1.5. Abbreviations: A.T = Abas Tepe; S.T. = Siharslan Tepe; K.D = Kefeli Dag; KT1 and KT2 = Karniyarik Tepe (all basaltic vents).

Central Anatolia exhibits the well-known Cappa-docian ignimbrites, stratovolcanoes (such as Mounts Kecikalesi, Melendiz, Erdas, Kara, Karaca, Hasan, and Erciyes), and hundreds of monogenetic vents (domes, scoria cones, maars). The most ancient vol-canism of the area is represented by Mt. Kecikalesi, dated as 13 Ma by Besang et al. (1977), which

exhibits mineralogical and geochemical tholeiitic affinities (Aydar and Gourgaud, 1998).

The most voluminous Plio-Quaternary vent of the region is the Mt. Erciyes stratovolcano (Figs. 1 and 2), which was built up in an intraplate tectonic environment as a consequence of post-collisional extension (Aydar et al., 1995; Notsu et al., 1995;

FIG. 3. Total alkaline versus silica diagram (Le Bas et al., 1986) of Erciyes basaltic products. The dashed line sepa­rates alkaline and subalkaline fields, after Miyashiro (1978).

Kürkcüoglu et al., 1998; Kürkcüoglu, 2000). During its formation, Mt. Erciyes mostly produced andesitic lavas, but also some basaltic products. Although Mt. Erciyes is dominantly calc-alkaline, some tholeiitic basalts occur as the initial products.

Tholeiitic basalts might be considered as the pri­mary products of depleted asthenospheric sources (Kempton et a l , 1991; Fitton et al., 1991; Menzies et al., 1991), with an associated lack of crustal con­tribution. The main topic of this study is to investi­gate the source constraints for the tholeiitic basalts, and to examine the tholeiitic-calc-alkaline relations in the specific tectonic context. We used trace- and rare-earth-element data and Sr-Nd isotopic ratios to model the genesis (source composition) of the Mt. Erciyes basaltic magma.

Geological Background

Mt. Erciyes, the largest stratovolcano of Central Anatolia, (3917 m elevation) is located approxi­mately 15 km south of the city of Kayseri (Fig. 1). The volcano mainly exhibits lava flows that are related to central and adventive monogenetic vents (scoria cones and domes) and their associated pyro-clastic products (Fig. 2). Volcanic activity devel­oped in two different stages (Sen, 1997; Sen et al., 1999). The first stage began with basaltic activity (tholeiitic basalt), followed by differentiated sequences (basaltic andesite, andesite, dacite). At the end of this stage, an extensive ignimbritic erup­tion occurred (Sen et al., 1999; Sen, 1997), which has been dated by Innocenti et al. (1975) by K/Ar as 2.7 ± 0.1, 2.8 ± 0.1, and 3.0 ± 0.1 Ma. Stratigraphi-

cally, the tholeiitic basalts are the first products of the stratovolcano. The second stage exhibits more differentiated calc-alkaline basaltic andesites, andesites, dacites, and rhyolites. There are no calc-alkaline basalts sensu stricto. The stratigraphy of Mt. Erciyes is detailed in Sen (1997) and Kürkcüo­glu et al. (1998).

Mt. Erciyes volcanism developed in a complex tectonic environment. Previous geodynamic models suggested a subduction event (Pasquare, 1968; Innocenti et al., 1975; Ayranci, 1991) or intraplate magmatism (Aydar et al., 1995; Notsu et al., 1995; Kürkcüoglu et al., 1998). The origin of the Mt. Erciyes volcanism is a matter of debate. Kürkcüoglu et al. (1998) proposed different mantle sources for the derivation of basaltic magmas. Tholeiites are derived from depleted asthenospheric (MORB-like) mantle sources, whereas other basaltic (including alkaline and calc-alkaline) magmas may be related to an enriched mantle component. A new trace ele­ment modeling of partial melting and AFC processes is our main contribution to the debate on the genesis of the Mt. Erciyes basaltic magmas.

Geochemistry

Analytical techniques Major- and trace-element compositions were

determined using a Philips PW 1480 X-Ray Fluo­rescence spectrometer, from fused glass tablets and pressed powdered samples at the Geological Engi­neering Department of Hacettepe University, Turkey. A detailed explanation of the preparation of samples is provided in Alici et al. (1998). The

spectrometer was calibrated using international standards (USGS and GEOSTANDARDS) to ensure accurate data.

Furthermore, three samples are from Aydar et al. (1995). REE analyses were performed using a JY7011 Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission (ICP) spectrometer at Blaise Pascal University. Sr and Nd isotopic compositions were determined in a fully automated V.G. isomass 54E and Thompson-CSF TSN 206SA mass spectrometers at Blaise Pas­cal University and the Geological Engineering Department of Hacettepe University, respectively. U, Pb, Th, Hf, and Ta concentrations were deter­mined, using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) at ACME Analytical Labora­tories Ltd., Canada. Analytical errors are typically ± 2% for major elements and less than ± 10% for trace elements. The 87Sr/86Sr ratios were normalized to 86Sr/88Sr = 0.1194. The 143Nd/144Nd ratios were nor­malized to 146Nd/144Nd = 0.7219. Over the periods of measurement, replicate analyses of standards gave, for the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) 987, 87Sr/86Sr = 0.701244 ± (2σ) and, for La Jolla 1 4 3Nd/1 4 4Nd = 0.51184 ± 3 (2σ).

Major and trace element geochemistry According to the total alkali versus silica dia­

gram (Le Bas et al., 1986), the basaltic Mt. Erciyes volcanics exhibit a tholeiitic to calc-alkaline char­acter (Fig. 3). Major-element compositions of basalts are listed in Table 1. MgO contents range from 8.4 to 6.6 wt% in tholeiites and 6.5 to 4.5 wt% in calc-alkaline basalts. Oxides versus SiO2 diagrams show that MgO, Fe2O3, and TiO2 correlate linearly and negatively, whereas Na2O and especially K2O corre­late linearly and positively with increasing SiO2. Other oxides, Al2O3, CaO, and P2O5, do not show good correlation trends. The geochemical evolution of the Mt. Erciyes volcanics was detailed in Kürkcüoglu et al. (1998).

Basalts sensu stricto are plotted over the alkaline subalkaline division line of Miyashiro (1978), and are interpreted as tholeiitic basalts according to their trace-element compositions (Fig 3). Trace-ele­ment data are listed in Tables 1 and 2. Some basalts exhibit highly depleted Nb, Ba, La, Ce, U, Ta, and especially Rb, and are considered as tholeiitic basalts, whereas others exhibit calc-alkaline char­acteristics.

Correlation diagrams between incompatible trace elements and SiO2 show that some trace ele­ments exhibit unusual behavior. For example, there is no clear correlation between Ba, Nb, and Sr, and silica. Moreover, Zr content decreases with increas­ing SiO2, whereas Rb increases. Such variations cannot be explained by a single fractional crystalli­zation process.

Chondrite-normalized trace-element patterns (Fig. 4) show that tholeiitic basalts have low concen­trations of large-ion lithophile (LIL; Rb, Sr, K) and some high-field-strength (HFS) elements (such as Th, La, and Ce) compared to calc-alkaline basalts (Fig. 4A). We suggest that tholeiitic and calc-alka­line basalts may be derived either from different mantle sources or by different geochemical pro­cesses from the same source. Furthermore, the Mt. Erciyes tholeiitic basalts are similar to the Serviletta tholeiitic basalts of the Taos volcanic area of north-central New Mexico and the Rio Grande Rift tholei-ites (Fig. 4B). The calc-alkaline basalts of Mt. Erciyes exhibit trace-element patterns that are sim­ilar to the Lake Mead tholeiitic basalts of Nevada (Fig. 4C) and the Rio Grande Rift tholeiites. Incom­patible-element contents and chondrite-normalized trace-element patterns indicate that the tholeiitic basalts probably were derived from asthenospheric mantle sources.

Isotope geochemistry 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd isotopic ratios of

basalts are listed in Table 1. 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/ 144Nd isotopic compositions of tholeiitic and calc-alkaline basalts range between 0.703344-0.703964 and 0.512920-0.512780, and 0.704591-0.705070 and 0.512720-0.512394, respectively. The 87Sr/ 86Sr-143Nd/144Nd diagram (Fig. 5) shows that tholei­itic basalts plot within the mantle array, close to the MORB area and within the Rio Grande rift axis field. Although they partially overlap with the OIB field, the LIL and HFS elements do not reflect an OIB signature.

The low Sr and high Nd isotopic ratios (Table 1) and depleted LIL and HFS elements show that tho­leiitic basalts may be derived from depleted asthenospheric sources. Moreover, the La/Nb versus 87Sr/86Sr diagram also demonstrates that the tholeii­tic basalts were derived from a depleted astheno­spheric mantle (Fig. 6), possibly from a MORB-like mantle source.

Calc-alkaline basalts also plot in the mantle array, close to the Río Grande Rift axis field. One

sample plots in the Rio Grande flank field. Rela­tively high LIL- and HFS-element contents and Sr isotopic compositions, together with low Nd isoto­pic ratios, indicate at least two alternative origins: (1) these basalts may be derived from different man­tle sources; or (2) the mantle component may have undergone various geochemical processes.

Trace-Element Modeling

Mantle sources and relations of tholeiitic and calc-alkaline magmas may be explained by trace-element modeling. Two principal processes are pre­sented below.

Partial melting process A trace-element model has been calculated to

test the partial melting process, according to Rollin-son's (1993) method. Trace-element modeling of basaltic magma from an asthenospheric mantle

source requires the calculation of trace-element content using the fractional melting process. This involves both the major- and trace-element contents as well as the mineralogical composition of the source component. Primitive-mantle chemical com­positions from Taylor and McLennan, (1985) are required as a starting composition. The content of any trace element from the source component may be calculated by the partial melting formula (Rollin-son, 1993), expressed below:

calculated by using CIPW norm values of rocks and the element's mineral/melt (Kd) partition coeffi­cient. D0 values of the elements for starting compo­sition are calculated by the formula (Rollinson, 1993) given below:

D0 = ΣWiKDi,

where W is the weight proportion of each mineral (calculated from major-element composition) and KDi is the individual mineral-liquid partition coeffi­cient. The preference for using KDi data in modeling stems from the use of microprobe and whole-rock trace-element compositions in their calculation. Athough microprobe analyses have been carried

out, trace element-based results are very limited. These results only may be used to compare calcu­lated and reference KDi values. A comparison shows that some calculated KDi values (KPlg = 0.28; TiPlg = 0,07; TiO1 = 0.036; KCPX = 0.042) are similar to ref­erence data suggested by several authors (Table 3). These similarities permit the use of the referenced KDi values in calculation. Mineral-liquid partition coefficients used in melting models are given in Table 3. The chemical compositions, calculated CIPW norms, and D0 values of each element for whole-rock composition of primitive mantle (Taylor and Mc Lennan, 1985) also are given in Tables 3 and 4.

for different degrees of partial melting (F). These calculations also provide the best approach for studying the genesis conditions of tholeiitic basalts. Table 4 lists trace-element contents calculated from the starting composition using the partial melting process with varying values of F.

Numerous calculations were performed for dif­ferent degrees of partial melting, the closest values between the trace element model and the real chem­ical data on tholeiitic basalts being obtained for a low degree of partial melting (F = 1 - 1.5%). These similarities are illustrated in a chondrite-normalized spider diagram (Figs. 7A-7B). Figure 7A shows that calculated trace-element compositions compare favorably with analyzed data from tholeiitic basalts, except for Sr and Zr. These differences may be explained by the low initial concentration of these elements in the starting composition. Moreover, we note the high D0 values, especially for Sr, and con­sequently the minimal effects of possible crustal contribution. Note that, for 1% F, there is a similar­

ity between the real chondrite-normalized REE pat­tern of tholeiitic basalt and the calculated values (Fig. 7B). So trace-element modeling of fractional melting processes emphasizes that tholeiitic basalts are generated with 1-1.5% partial melting of a depleted asthenospheric mantle source.

Similar calculations were also performed for calc-alkaline samples. The less differentiated tho­leiitic basalt composition (ERC96-116) was chosen as the starting composition for the calc-alkaline basalt. CIPW norms and D0 values for the source component (ERC96-116) are calculated and listed in Tables 3 and 5.

The trace-element modeling procedure was per­formed for different F values and calculated and measured trace-element compositions compared. Moreover, compositional similarities are observed between calculated and chemically analyzed calc-alkaline basalts. Some compositional differences also are noted in LIL elements in the case of 25% partial melting from the accepted end-member. Rb,

K, Th, Nb, and Ta are higher in calc-alkaline basalts than in the calculated model (Table 5, Fig. 7C). Although partial melting is the primary process for producing basaltic magma, these compositional dif­ferences may be explained by either: (1) very low initial concentrations of the end member in these elements; or (2) possible involvement of crustal materials during the magma's ascent. This second hypothesis can be tested or controlled by AFC mod­eling. Globally, similar trends were obtained between calc-alkaline basalt and 25% partially

melted modeled compositions from the tholeiitic source (Fig. 7D).

AFC modeling Chemical variations during assimilation and

fractional crystallization (AFC) have been pointed out by DePaolo (1981). Modeling of trace elements is applied in order to evaluate whether crustal mate­rial is involved in the generation of calc-alkaline basalts.

end member because of its depleted composition. Upper continental crust, according to Taylor and McLennan (1985) is selected as the contaminant. For AFC modeling, chemical compositions of the contaminant were assumed to have Rb = 112 ppm, Sr = 350 ppm (Taylor and Mc Lennan, 1985), and 87Sr/86Sr = 0.71600 (Veizer and Compston, 1974). Chemical and isotopic compositions, calculated D0 values, and CIPW norms for the end member are

given in Tables 1, 3, and 6. A variation diagram of 87Sr/86Sr with Rb/Sr during the AFC process is shown in Figure 8. A positive correlation of these ratios is related to a possible involvement of crustal material. The tholeiitic end member is the source component for the calc-alkaline basalt, by way of a 10-15% assimilation of crustal material. Both of the AFC trends (Fig. 8) are the most likely trajectories for the calc-alkaline samples (Fig. 8).

The 87Sr/86Sr, 143Nd/144Nd isotopic compositions and incompatible-trace-element ratios of tholeiitic basalts, as well as trace-element modeling of partial melting, indicate that they were derived from a d e p l e t e d a s t h e n o s p h e r i c (MORB-l ike) man t l e source. Following that process, new calc-alkaline magmas were generated by lithospheric contribu­tion, during the ascent to the surface, involving the AFC process from an initially tholeiitic basalt end member . T h e la rge compos i t iona l d i f ferences observed for Rb and Nb between calculated (25% partially melted) and observed calc-alkaline compo­sitions are strongly related to the depleted nature of the tholeiitic end member. Rb, Nb, and K are also depleted in the start ing composition. Extracted products from this source also exhibit depleted values.

AFC and partial-melting models also indicate that the AFC process is primarily responsible for the generation of calc-alkaline basalts. But the role of a syngenetic partial melting process during such an event cannot be ruled out, because crustal involve­ment is not a unique process linked to calc-alkaline basalt genesis.

The a b s e n c e of s ensu s t r ic to ca l c - a lka l i ne basalts may be related to the partial melting pro­cess. The rate of partial melting is directly related to changes in the rate of extension. The positive corre­lation between Sr isotopic ratios and ages (11.2 Ma to 2.8 Ma) suggests the decreasing contribution of the crust through time, as a result of increasing extension in central Anatolia (Temel et al., 1998). The increase in extension rate promoted extraction of tholeiitic basalts rather than calc-alkaline melts. Furthermore, evidence for the increase in exten-sional tectonic features in central Anatolia is also supported by the occurrence of young alkal ine basalts at Mt. Erciyes (Kürkcüoglu et al., 1998), Mt. Hasan stratovolcano (Deniel et al., 1988), and as monogenetic vents in central Anatolia (Notsu et al., 1995).

In light of all the geochemical data, we conclude that the basaltic products of Mt. Erciyes have a com­plex origin. Incompatible elements, Sr and Nd isoto­p i c r a t i o s , a n d t r a c e - e l e m e n t m o d e l i n g a l l demonstrate that small amounts of tholeiitic basalts have been derived from a depleted asthenospheric mantle source by a 1-1.5% level of partial melting, with no crustal contamination. This is also sug­gested by low Sr and high Nd isotopic ratios and low

LIL-element contents. Subsequently, calc-alkaline basalts were produced by 10-15 % crustal assimila­tion of a tholeiitic basalt source. Furthermore, par­tial melting from that source component may also be responsible in some way for the generation of the ca lc-a lkal ine basal ts of the Mt. Erciyes s trato­volcano.
