A NanoSIMS Investigation on Timescales Recorded in Volcanic Quartz From the Silicic Chon Aike Province (Patagonia)

Textural and chemical differences in coeval rhyolitic effusive and explosive eruptions are commonly observed, and numerical models predict different timescales for the eruption of crystal-rich mushes versus crystal-poor magmas. We compare quartz zonation and diffusion timescales of crystal-rich rhyo...
