英文摘要	Monogenetic volcanoes can yield eruptive suites displaying substantial complexity in compositional characteristics. The Bahariya monogenetic volcanoes (BMV) in the Western Desert, Egypt are a good example. They comprise complex stratigraphic deposits involving scoria cone, lava flows, and subvolcanic sills and dikes related to diverse eruptive styles. Whole-rock and mineral chemistry and 40Ar–39Ar geochronology are used here to document the petrogenesis, source characteristics, and evolution of the Bahariya volcanoes. The architecture of the BMV is the product of two alkali magma batches: pyroclastics and lava flows forming explosive scoria cone (batch 1) and subvolcanic sills (batch 2). The two batches show contrast in the concentrations of incompatible trace elements and REE as well as element ratios such as Nb/Yb, Gd/Yb, Nb/U, and Ce/Pb (36, 5.0, 44, 30 vs. 17, 4.0, 39, 24 for batch 1 and 2, respectively). New whole-rock 40Ar/39Ar dating displays consistent age of 23.71 ± 0.06 and 23.73 ± 0.01 Ma for magma emplacement of batch 2. Batches 1 and 2 share common LILE and LREE enrichments and HFSE depletions, analogous to a HIMU-like, mantle-derived OIB source described from other Paleogene–Oligocene intraplate magmatic provinces in North Africa and worldwide. Trace element modeling proposes a derivation of the Bahariya volcanoes from parental melts generated by 8–12% partial melting of garnet lherzolite and amphibole-bearing garnet lherzolite at 2.18 ± 0.33 and 1.77 ± 0.33 GPa for batch 1 and batch 2, respectively, across the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary at c. 70–90 km depth (2.14–2.76 GPa). These sources had been earlier metasomatized by volatile-, LILE- and HFSE-rich fluid(s) originating from Neoproterozoic subduction or a Phanerozoic plume. Fractional crystallization involved olivine + clinopyroxene in both batches followed by Fe–Ti oxides + apatite in batch 2. Furthermore, crust contamination/assimilation was an irrelevant process at crustal level during magma ascend to the surface. Data results of the geo-barometric computations disclose two magma storage levels involving intermediate to lower crustal levels at c. 35 km (1.05 GPa) for batch 1 and mid-crustal level at c. 25 km depth (0.75 GPa) for batch 2. This study delivers proof that magmas emitted at Bahariya depression can undergo complex polymagmatic processes during their storage and passage in the crust, mainly due to the existence of a multilevel plumbing system. The origin of the BMV, as with other within-plate volcanoes in North Egypt, appears to be allied to extension-induced asthenosphere upwelling activated by limited exclusion of thickened lithospheric root under a passive rift tectonic regime coupled with the development of lithospheric thinning and continental breakup in North Africa. © 2020, Geologische Vereinigung e.V.
