TAS: rock classification following the Le Bas et al [36] scheme. A: andesite, BA: basaltic andesite, BTA: basaltic trachyandesite, and D: dacite.
Adjusted composition (% m/m) and CIPW norm calculated applying SINCLAS program [14, 15]. Mg-v = /( ), atomic; and calculated from adjusted FeO and Fe2O3 following Middlemost [34].
