Reappraising the eruptive history of the Alchichica Maar Volcano (Mexico) based on Sr–Nd isotopes: Understanding the role of the magma source region on the growth of small-volume v... by Boris Chako-Tchamabé, Bodo Weber, Merlin Gountié Dedzo, Jules Tamen, Jhoanna Silis-Esquivel, Karoly Nemeth

“…While the 87Sr/86Sr values suggest a slight increment in radiogenic 87Sr from the pre-maar lower lava flow to the upper maar eruptions indicative of magma contamination within the upper crust and by hydrodynamic mingling during the phreatomagmatic phases, the slight variation in Nd isotopes suggest an overall homogeneous source where small batches of magmas formed episodically to feed monogenetic eruptions, which subsequently yielded the pre-maar lava flow, the pre-maar surge, the scoria cone, and the maar units. …”
