Abstract

The intermediate lavas (“andesites, trachyandesites, doreites, sancyites”) of the Cenozoic volcanic districts of the Massif Central (France) are compared with lavas of the alkaline and calc-alkaline suites. On ground of mineralogical and chemical data, two groups may be recognized. The rocks of the first group bear a close resemblance with the intermediate rocks that result of the differentiation of an alkaline basaltic magma. The rocks of the second group, less numerous, possess one or several characters identical to those of calc-alkaline andesites.
