Melt and fluid evolution in an upper-crustal magma reservoir, preserved by inclusions in juvenile clasts from the Kos Plateau Tuff, Aegean Arc, Greece

Pre- to syn-eruptive fluids released by the magmatic system forming the non-welded rhyolitic Kos Plateau Tuff ignimbrite, Greece, were characterized using fluid inclusions entrapped in quartz from granitic clasts entrained from the roof or walls of the feeding magma reservoir. This fluid was initially of intermediate density and relatively low salinity (3–11 wt% NaClequivalent). Following significant pressure drop(s), it separated into...
