Resumo(s)
The island of Tenerife has an extensive Quaternary phonolitic pyroclastic series, comprising plinian pumice-fall deposits, ignimbrites, and pyroclastic surges. The dominant petrological feature of these pumice deposits is their geochemical and petrographical heterogeneity. Evidence is presented for three causes of heterogeneity: assimilation of roof-rock by the magma, resulting in less evolved compositions of the first erupted pumice; zonation of the magma chamber, causing a change to intermediate compositions among the last products of an eruption; and magma mixing, where mafic and banded tephra are distributed more or less randomly through a particular pumice deposit.
