Rifting and recharge as triggers of the mixed basalt–rhyolite Halarauður ignimbrite eruption (Krafla, Iceland)
We present a petrologic study of the ca. 110 ka Halarauður eruption (7 ± 6 km3 magma), associated with collapse of Krafla caldera in northeast Iceland. Whole-rock compositions of juvenile Halarauður products span a continuous range between quartz tholeiite basalt (50.0 wt% SiO2, 5.0 wt% MgO; Mg# 42)...

We present a petrologic study of the ca. 110 ka Halarauður eruption (7 ± 6 km3 magma), associated with collapse of Krafla caldera in northeast Iceland. Whole-rock compositions of juvenile Halarauður products span a continuous range between quartz tholeiite basalt (50.0 wt% SiO2, 5.0 wt% MgO; Mg# 42) and rhyolite (74.6 wt% SiO2). Linear correlations between all major elements are consistent with two-component mixing of sub-equal volumes of these end-member magmas, whereas correlations between trace elements are influenced by diffusive fractionation during chaotic mixing. Evolved compositions (andesite to rhyolite) and compositional heterogeneity are typical of early-erupted units, reflecting tapping of the upper, more silicic regions of a compositionally heterogeneous reservoir undergoing chaotic mixing. Later-erupted deposits are more compositionally homogeneous and grade smoothly upward from andesite to basalt, reflecting tapping of denser hybrid magma and uncontaminated basalt from lower in the chamber. All erupted products host < 1–2 modal% macro-crysts, implying storage at near-liquidus temperatures.
