-After the catastrophic 1257 caldera-forming eruption, a new chapter of Old Rinjani volcanic activity began with the appearance of Rombongan and Barujari Volcanoes within the caldera. However, no published petrogenetic study focuses mainly on these products. The Rombongan eruption in 1944 and Barujari eruptions in pre-1944, 1966, 1994, 2004, and 2009 produced basaltic andesite pyroclastic materials and lava flows. A total of thirty-one samples were analyzed, including six samples for each period of eruption except from 2004 (only one sample). The samples were used for petrography, whole-rock geochemistry, and trace and rare earth element analyses. The Rombongan and Barujari lavas are composed of calc-alkaline and high K calc-alkaline porphyritic basaltic andesite. The magma shows narrow variation of SiO 2 content that implies small changes during its generation. The magma that formed Rombongan and Barujari lavas is island-arc alkaline basalt. Generally, data show that the rocks are enriched in Large Ion Lithophile Elements (LILE: K, Rb, Ba, Sr, and Ba) and depleted in High Field Strength Elements (HFSE: Y, Ti, and Nb) which are typically a suite from a subduction zone. The pattern shows a medium enrichment in Light REE and relatively depleted in Heavy REE. The processes are dominantly controlled by fractional crystallization and magma mixing. All of the Barujari and Rombongan lavas would have been produced by the same source of magma with little variation in composition caused by host rock filter process. New flux of magma would likely have occurred from pre-1944 until 2009 period that indicates slightly decrease and increase of SiO 2 content. The Rombongan and Barujari lava generations show an arc magma differentiation trend.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
