Abstract

Postorogenic volcanic rocks of different Tertiary ages are very common in the Sava-Vardar Zone of the Dinarides and in the southeastern part of adjoing Pannonian Basin. South of the Sava-Vardar Zone, in central Bosnia, Tertiary volcanic rocks occur within ophiolite sequences and genetically related sedimentary formations of the Dinaride Ophiolite Zone. Central Bosnia volcanic rocks are mostly dacites, and highly subordinately andesites as the members of the high-K calc-alkaline series.

It appears from the mineralogical and petrographic characteristics obtained some insight into the processes that occurred during the genesis of the rocks. The presence of primary igneous minerals: clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, hornblende and biotite from ferromagnesian minerals, and plagioclase, sanidine and quartz, indicates that the fractional crystallization played a significant role in the genesis of the rocks. Reaction edge on many rounded quartz phenocrysts indicates the possibility of magma mixing with the formation of Tertiary volcanic rocks of the central Bosnia. On magma mixing different temperature and chemical composition also indicates the existence of zoned plagioclase and amphibole phenocrysts.

Complex compositional and zoning patterns of biotite and plagioclase phenocrysts and disequilibrium microstructures of plagioclase and quartz phenocrysts suggest interaction of fractionating, mantle derived melts with continental crust during a shalow level pre-eruptive stage and mixing with small amount of devolatilized phlogopite-phyric mafic magma before eruption.
