Fe and Si isotope variations at Cedar Butte volcano; insight into magmatic differentiation

This study presents the stable isotopic variations of both Si and Fe recorded in a single well-characterized magmatic suite from Cedar Butte volcano (ID, USA), as well as a sill with progressive compositional change within Finland granophyre (Duluth Complex, MN, USA). Both isotopic systems show a significant enrichment in heavy isotopes in the more differentiated materials, in agreement with previous studies. In addition, the Finland granophyre sill shows a strong dependence between the isotopic composition and the sampling depth, suggesting the isotopic compositions follow a temperature gradient in which the cold part systematically enriches in heavy isotopes.
