Crystallization and partial melting of rhyolite and felsite rocks at Krafla volcano: A comparative approach based on mineral and glass chemistry of natural and experimental products
Rhyolite and felsite cuttings were collected at Krafla volcano during the perforation of the Iceland Deep Drilling Project Well 1 (IDDP-1). The perforation was stopped at a depth of 2100 m due to intersection with a rhyolite magma that intruded the felsite host rock. Rhyolite cuttings are vitrophiri...

Rhyolite and felsite cuttings were collected at Krafla volcano during the perforation of the Iceland Deep Drilling Project Well 1 (IDDP-1). The perforation was stopped at a depth of 2100 m due to intersection with a rhyolite magma that intruded the felsite host rock. Rhyolite cuttings are vitrophiric (glass ~95%, RHL) and exhibit a mineral assemblage made of plagioclase + augite + pigeonite + titanomagnetite. Felsite cuttings display evidences of partial melting, responding to variable degrees of quartz + plagioclase + alkali feldspar + augite + titanomagnetite dissolution. The interstitial glass analyzed close to (i.e., FLS1) and far from (i.e., FLS2) the reaction surface of pyroxene from felsite cuttings shows continuous changes between the two end-members. FLS1 is compositionally similar to RHL, showing Na2O + K2O + REE depletions, counterbalanced by MgO + CaO enrichments. Conversely, FLS2 exhibits opposite chemical features.
