Review of Neogene and Quaternary volcanism of the Carpathian-Pannonian region

Cryptic metasomatism in clino- and orthopyroxene in the upper mantle beneath the Pannonian region

“…The driving force of this phase was the continuous roll-back and progressive steepening of the subducted slab along the outer eastern Carpathians Horváth 1993;Huismans et al 2001). The subduction of the European plate beneath the Carpathian area was accompanied by extensive calc-alkaline volcanism along the Carpathian Arc (Szabó et al 1992;Harangi et al 2007). The phase of the passive lithospheric extension and thinning was followed by a second extensional event in the Late Miocene (12 -11 Ma) that affected the central part of the basin.…”

“…Generally, the following melts or fluids are considered as possible agents of metasomatic enrichment: (1) alkali mafic or ultramafic silicate melts; (2) highly mobile carbonatite magmas; (3) subduction-related silicate melts such as adakites; or (4) hydrous subduction-related fluids. The possible role of subduction-related fluids is important in the Pannonian region because of the widespread subduction-related calcalkaline volcanism during Eocene and Miocene times (see Szabó et al 1992 andHarangi et al 2007 for reviews).…”

Eo-Alpine metamorphism and the ‘mid-Miocene thermal event’ in the Western Carpathians (Slovakia): new evidence from multiple thermochronology

“…Pécskay et al 2006) and was related to subduction and mantle upwelling in the Carpathian-Pannonian region associated with high heat flow and an increased geothermal gradient (Král, Lisol & Janáček, 1987;Szabó, Harangi & Csontos, 1992;Tari, Horváth & Rumpler, 1992). This interpretation finds support in the magmatic activity in the adjacent Slánske Mts, which occurred between ∼ 17 and 11 Ma (cf.…”
