As other VMS deposits in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, the orebodies that form the giant Neves-Corvo deposit are hosted within a lithostratigraphic sequence dominated by siliciclastic sediments from the Phyllite-Quartzite Group and the Volcano-Sedimentary Complex and show a spatial relationship to felsic volcanism. By combining zircon and monazite petrochronology, quartz and garnet trace elements, whole-rock geochem...
ABSTRACT: This work investigates the relationships between partial melting, melt extraction, pluton growth and silicic volcanism in garnet-bearing felsic volcanic rocks that were extruded in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, at ca. 345 Ma. The garnets are of peritectic origin, displaying textural and chemical features of disequilibrium crystallization during partial melting reactions involving biotite at high temperatur...
