Abstract

Integration of geochemical, mineralogical, isotopic, and geochronological data with geodynamic considerations suggests that the Variscan granites in the Erzgebirge-Slavkovský les domain originated from repeated melting events and were emplaced over a period of about 40 Ma (330–290 Ma). Several lines of evidence exist supporting the idea that Erzgebirge granites assigned to different types (biotite granites, two-mica granites, strongly peraluminous P-rich Li-mica granites, and slightly peraluminous P-poor granites) are in most cases not genetically related via continuous fractional crystallization from a common magmatic reservoir. The genesis of the Slavkovsky les granites, however, might be discussed in terms of an uninterrupted fractionation series. Geological models of Sn-W deposits based upon geochemical and structural results imply that the main ore depositional events followed immediately the emplacement and solidification processes of melt via fluid-melt immiscibility, breccia-pipe formation and/or pervasive rock-fluid interactions.
