Spatiotemporal variability of magmatic products under a changing structural and tectonic context: a case study in the Andes of southern Central Chile by José Piquer, Tomás Fischer, Francisco Torres, Gaëlle Plissart

“…The Pliocene La Resolana intrusions show higher magma fertility indices; however, they are still considerably lower than those typical for porphyry-forming magmas in the same Andean region. It is concluded that the contrasting fertility observed in coeval intrusions emplaced under the same tectonic context, cannot be explained by continental-scale processes; instead, they are related to differences in the local pathways of magma ascent through the crust. …”
