Abstract: | Juvenile ejecta from the September and October 1995 eruptionsof Ruapehu volcano, New Zealand, indicate that mixing occurredbetween relatively higher- and lower-temperature (high-T andlow-T) andesitic magmas. Compositional zonations in clinopyroxenephenocrysts provide direct evidence for a pre-eruption crystalmeltmush chamber containing low-T magma, and elucidate the processesof magma mixing and eruption, following the injection of high-Tmagma. Many phenocrysts with Fe-rich cores derived from low-Tmagma have extremely reverse zoned mantles around slightly resorbedcores. Mg-value 100Mg/(Mg + Fe)] increases from 6570to |
