RT Journal Article T1 Aspectos composidonales de los piroxenos ígneos del magmatismo básico del sinclinal de Almadén. Implicaciones petrogenéticas T1 Compositional constraints of igneous pyroxenes from the basic magmatism in the Almadén syncline.Petrogenetic implications A1 Higueras, Pablo L. A1 Morata Céspedes, Diego AB Chemical composition of igneous pyroxenes in the basic rocks from the Almadén syncline shows important differences between basaltic lavas and olivine diabases (Silurian to Devonian in age), and quartzdiabases on the other hand. Higher CaO, Al203 and Ti02 and lower Si02 contents in pyroxenes from the first group are characteristics of alkaline magmas. Lower CaO, Al203 and Ti02 and higher Si02 in pyroxene from quartzdiabases are indicative of a subalkaline (tholeiitic) affinity. These chemical differences are consistent with whole-rock chemistry, with higher Nb/Y and (La/Lu)cn ratios in the first group. Alkaline and tholeiitic magmatism are a consequence of different partial melting rates, lower for the alkaline liquids PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 1994 FD 1994 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/13926 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/13926 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 2 jun 2026
