Abstract
Los xenolitos granulíticos del volcán de La Encomienda (Campo Volcánico de Calatrava) representan un conjunto de composición félsica peralumínica. Su química mineral permite estimar condicio-nes de temperatura y presión en torno a los 883-889 ºC y 0.76-0.84 GPa, lo que implica profundidades propias de la corteza inferior (25-28 km). Se trata de granulitas de tipo charnockítico, metasedimen-tario y metagranítico. Su petrografía y química mineral indican que sus protolitos son de origen ígneo (composición intermedia-ácida) y/o sedimentario. Al comparar con xenolitos granulíticos del Sistema Central Español (SCE), queda de manifiesto que en Calatrava no se llegan a alcanzar las condiciones de ultra-alta temperatura que sí se logran en el SCE, así como el marcado carácter félsico de la corteza inferior bajo la Zona Centro-Ibérica
The granulite xenoliths from the La Encomienda volcano (Cala-trava Volcanic Field) represent a felsic peraluminous suite. Mineral chemistry allows estimating temperature and pressure conditions in the range of 883-889 ºC and 0.76-0.84 GPa, in accordance with a lower crustal derivation (25-28 km). These enclaves are charnockitic, metasedimentary and metagranitic granulites. Their petrography and mineral chemistry indicate an igneous (intermediate-acid com-position) or sedimentary origin for the protoliths. When comparing with granulite xenoliths from the Spanish Central System (SCS), it is apparent that Calatrava granulites did not attain the ultra-high temperature conditions characteristic of the SCS xenoliths, although both regions point to a mainly felsic nature of the lower crust under the Central Iberian Zone
