Bildungsbedingungen

Hansmann 1996 S.422: Field evidence defines the following magmatic sequence in the MB area:

(i) Andesitic-basaltic dikes that crosscut the Alpine fohation in the neighbouring units (Nievergelt and Dietrich, 1977) show a contact metamorphic overprint in the MB aureole (Gautschi and Montrasio, 1978).These were interpreted as precursors of the main intrusions on geochemical grounds (Diethelm, 1989; von Blanckenburg et al., 1992).

(ii) Gabbros and hornblendites occur as variously-sized inclusions only in the tonahte and are interpreted as early magmatic differentiates (Diethelm, 1985,1989).

(iii) The two main intrusions, the tonalite ("Serizzo") and the granodiorite ("Serizzo Ghiandone" in the older Italian hteräture). These are in-contact along a complex transition zone (Moticska, 1970; Reusser. 1987) but age relationships of the two are ambiguous in the western part of the main igneous body. The tonalite is considered to be older (e.g. Cornelius, 1928; Bucher-Nurminen, 1977; Berger and Giere, 1995). Field evidence in support of this hypothesis is given by a small granodioritic stock intruding the tonahte in the Val Sissone (Montrasio and Trommsdorff, 1983; Berger and Giere, 1995).

(iv) Lamprophyric dikes of calc-alkaline and shoshonitic compositions are present in the granodiorite with variable degrees of disintegration from undisturbed dikes through disrupted dikes and swarms of inclusions to isolated inclusions. These dikes intruded the granodioritic magma prior to its complete sohdification (Diethelm, 1989).

(v) The youngest major intrusion in the area is represented by a garnet-bearing two-mica-leucogranite, the Novate Granite. Pegmatites, leucocratic inicro-granjtes and aplites are widespread in the whole MB region. Some of these dikes radiate from the Novate intrusion. Among the several generations of leucocratic dikes (e.g. Moticska, 1970), Reusser (1987) distinguished pre- and post granodioritic types, therefore only some of the dikes can actually be associated with the Novate intrusion.
