Chemical evolution of a high-level magma system: The Black Mountain Volcanic Center, Southern Nevada
Abstract
Stratigraphically controlled samples of both lavas and ash flow tuffs from the Black Mountain Volcanic center to evaluate magmatic processes were studied. The results of this study are used to: (1) determine how this high level magma system developed; (2) compare this system with other similar systems; and (3) correlate ash flow sheets using their chemical characteristics.
