Description

Comprehensive study of the Carpathian obsidians reveals that these rocks as typical arc igneous products were derived by multistage processes with the primary basaltic magma formed due to melting of the lower crustal source at the mantle/crust border. Subsequent formation of melt reservoirs in the middle and upper crust, accompanied by secondary melting of the surrounding rocks with recurrent addition of an ascending melt, and repeated processes of assimilation and fractionation produced a suite of chemically variable lithology from basalt to rhyolites and obsidians before 12.0-11.4 Ma in the Carpathians.
