Mount Pleasant Caldera rock. The Intercaldera Sequence comprises formations that crop out from overlying flows in triangularly shaped area, and includes thick volcanic ash (tuff), thick breccia layers, and intermediate to felsic igneous rocks that tend to intrude the above layers and are typically located along caldera margin faults. The Exocaldera Sequence contains ash flow tuffs, mafic lavas, alluvial redbeds, and porphyritic felsic lavas that are distributed across five different layers. The late Caldera-Fill Sequence contains rocks that are similar to those of the outflows of the other, older layers, and comprises two formations and two relatively minor intrusive lava flows. The volcanic
Archean felsic volcanic rocks (b) melting of felsic materials (e.g. TTG and/or sediments) formed younger potassium-rich GMS (see Table 3). They imply gradual chemical changes of the in the magma and the Earth's crust. Records of Archean felsic volcanic rocks shows a peculiar trend. The eruption of felsic volcanic rocks and plutonic activities in Archean are largely synchronised as show in overlapping zircon ages. On contrary, the chemical compositions of some felsic volcanic rocks are similar to that of GMS but they are much older than GMS. For example, a GMS-like rhyolite unit in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt (abnormally more enriched in potassium and
