Abstract
The thermal evolution of magmatic systems of the Altenberg-Teplice and Tharandter Wald calderas, which erupted during the terminal post-collisional phase of the Variscan orogeny in the Bohemian Massif, was investigated. The zircon saturation temperatures and Ti-in-zircon thermometer indicate that the intrusive and extrusive units of the two calderas were sourced from medium- to high-temperature (∼770–930°C) felsic lower crustal magma. Using an integrated rock-magnetic and paleomagnetic approach through thermal demagnetization and stepwise thermomagnetic curves, it was estimated that intracaldera ignimbrites reached temperatures of 550–600°C. The low-temperature component (350–450°C) likely corresponds to the alteration of magnetic minerals during cooling or late-stage magmatic/hydrothermal events. Placing these findings in the broader context of Variscan post-collisional magmatism might suggest a trend of decreasing magma temperatures from 330 Ma to 302 Ma within the two lower-to mid-crustal (Moldanubian) and upper-crustal (Saxothuringian) units of the Bohemian Massif, possibly reflecting the cooling of the hot collisional orogen. Lastly, we suggest that a combination of zircon temperature estimates with the rock-magnetic methods may provide a comprehensive framework for further research on the thermal evolution of felsic magmatic systems.
