INTRODUCTION AND GEOLOGIC SETTING

The A.D. 1631 eruption of volcano Vesuvius, in Naples, Italy, began more than 300 years of nearly constant eruptive activity. The succeeding activity was predominately effusive with only minor pyroclastic events usually at the end of an eruptive cycle. This continuous, relatively low energy activity made Vesuvius an ideal laboratory for volcanologists and petrologists until its last eruption in AD. 1944. The literature pertaining to Vesuvius begins with Pliny the Younger's letter to Tacitus describing the A.D. 79 "Pompei" eruption and continues today as new studies continue to add to the body of work used to interpret and model its past and perhaps future activity. Systematic study and chemical analysis of the Vesuvius products began with Johnston-Laves (1884) and Washington (1906), respectively. Recent studies are discussed by Barberi et al., (1981) and Santacroce (1983). Modern analytical work is reviewed by Joron et al. (1987). This report presents the comprehensive chemical database which has been determined as part of an ongoing study (Belkin et al., 1991; Belkin et al., 1993) of the petrogenesis of the recent AD. 1631-1944 Vesuvius activity. The data generated by such an analytical program will provide a base for use in petrologic analysis as well as in derivative and complementary studies such as detailed modal and chemical petrography and isotopic analysis. The importance and utility of such a unified data set arises from the fact that although Vesuvius has been extensively studied, few workers have presented complete analyses.

Mt. Somma-Vesuvius is part of the Roman potassic province of Washington (1906) located east of Naples, at the southern boundary of the Campanian plain. Mt. Somma-Vesuvius is a composite volcano that has erupted silica-undersaturated and potassium-rich lavas and pyroclastics for at least 25,000 years. The eruptive history of Somma-Vesuvius can be divided into three periods; (1) the early historic period before the AD. 79 "Pompei" plinian eruption, (2) the middle period covering A.D. 79 to 1631 and (3) the recent period of activity from A.D. 1631 to 1944. The most recent eruptive period represents an almost continuous series of mild, mostly effusive lavas ranging in composition from phonolitic-leucitite to tephritic-leucitite. The average SiO2 content is 48.0 wt.% and the rocks are classified as tephriphonolites according to their alkali (I^O + Na2O) content. All of the lavas are silica-undersaturated and are nepheline, leucite, and olivine normative.

The proximity of Vesuvius to the resources and study of renaissance and post- renaissance Europe plus recent detailed mapping (Rosi et al., 1987) has provided historical documentation for the reconstruction of this recent period. We have used as a base for sampling (figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4) the recent map of Rosi et al., (1987). A recent compilation and discussion of the eruptive history, chemistry, petrography, and geophysics of Mt. Somma-Vesuvius can be found in Santacroce (1987) and references therein.

All the flows consist of moderately viscous lavas with either aa or pahoehoe surfaces. They are homogeneous in appearance, either vesicular or massive, and phaneritic with well developed leucite or pyroxene phenocrysts. Arno et al., (1987) has divided the recent period activity into 18 eruptive cycles. These cycles start with the A.D. 1638 effusive activity. The question of the existence of lavas erupted with the A.D. 1631

explosive activity is contentious. For the purpose of this report, we will consider those rocks labelled as pre-A.D. 1631 by Rosi et al., (1987) to be A.D. 1631 lavas (figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4).

Arno et al. (1987) defined eighteen eruption cycles (Table 1) for the recent period of activity based on the collection, interpretation, and synthesis of historical data. Quiescent periods between episodes never exceeded seven years. The cycle typically closed with more vigorous eruptions perhaps resulting from external sources (e.g., earthquakes) (Arno et al., 1987). These final-cycle eruptions are thought to empty the shallow magma reservoir. Apparently only 1-7 years was necessary to refill the lava column within the conduit. After re-establishment of the lava column strombolian activity typically begins a new cycle.

METHODS

SamplingRepresentative samples of bedrock or quarry outcrops were collected, labelled,

and located (figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4) on the 1:25000 geologic base of Rosi et al., (1987). Samples from locations that were later judged to be uncertain are not included. Appendix A summarizes the location and field notes. Obviously weathered or altered samples were avoided. The data reported here were obtained from aliquants ground in tungsten carbide at the University of Rome, Italy or from aliquants ground in Reston, Virginia using a jaw crusher with hardened Mn-steel plates and a grinder with alumina plates.

The following abbreviations for various analytical techniques are used in the

discussions below; ion exchange separation - inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (IES/ICP-AES), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (WDXRF), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDXRF), F - selective ion electrode (F-SIE), Cl - selective ion electrode (Cl-SIE), and S - combustion/IR spectrometry (S-C/IRS).

The description of the methods that follows was adapted from the summaries supplied by the analysts for each method; for a more complete discussion of the various analytical methods used in this report the reader is referred to Baedecker (1987).

Analysis of Major Element OxidesMajor element oxides (Si, Al, Fetotal, Mg, Ca, Na, K, Ti, P, Mn) were determined

in representative aliquots by WDXRF using the method of Taggart et al., (1987). Total iron was determined as Fe2O3. The true value of Fe2O3 was calculated after FeO determination. 800 mg samples are weighed and then ignited in a Pt-Au crucible at 900 to 925°C for 45 minutes. The samples are reweighed after cooling to determine the total loss on ignition (LOI). The ignited samples are then fused with 8 g of lithium tetraborate by heating at 1120°C for 40 minutes, poured into Pt molds, and the resultant glass disc is irradiated by X-rays generated by a Rh-target tube operating at 35 kV and a current of 60 mA. Characteristic X-rays emitted by each element in the sample are counted, corrected for matrix effects using the deJongh (1973) model, and the concentrations are determined using previously prepared calibration standards. The concentration data are then recalculated to account for any mass change on ignition.

Analysis of FeOThe method used is that of Peck (1964). A 500 mg sample is decomposed using

HF and H2SO4. The resultant solution is treated with boric and phosphoric acids. Fe2+ is determined by a colorimetric or a potentiometric titration with potassium dichromate. Sodium diphenylamine sulfonate is used as the endpoint indicator in the colorimetric titration.

Analysis of CO2. H2O-. and H2O+.CO2 - The method of Engleman et al. (1985) was used. A 500 mg sample is first

digested with HC1O4. Any CO2 that is evolved is carried into a coulometric cell. The CO2 is converted into a strong acid by ethanolamine, and is titrated coulometrically.

H2O- - A 1 g sample is weighed and dried at 110°C for a minimum of 1 hour. The sample is placed in a desiccator and cooled. The sample is weighed again and the H2O" is determined by difference (Shapiro, 1975).

H2O+ - The method of Jackson et al. (1987) was used. A 50 mg sample is mixed with 150 mg of lead oxide/lead chromate flux. The sample is heated to 950°C. The evolved water is determined coulometrically by a Karl-Fischer titration. The titration yields the total H2O in the sample. H2O + is thus determined from the difference between total H2O and H2O"

Analysis of S. Cl. and F.Sulfur: The combustion/IR spectroscopy method of Kirschenbaum (1983) was

used. A 200 mg sample is weighed and vanadium pentoxide is added as a combustion aid. The mixture is combusted in a sulfur analyzer and the sulfur dioxide is measured by an infra-red detector.

Chlorine: A 200 mg sample is decomposed using KMnO4, HF, and H2SO4 in a specially designed, sealed teflon vessel. Chlorine is captured in a KOH/Na2SO3 solution in the center compartment of the container and then determined as chloride by the selective ion electrode method of Aruscavage and Campbell (1983).

Fluorine: A 100 mg sample is fused with a NajCO-j/ZnO flux. The fusion cake is leached with H2O. HC1 is added to liberate any CO2. An aliquot of the sample solution is buffered with a sodium citrate/KNO3 solution. This solution is analyzed for fluorine, as fluoride, by the selective ion electrode method of Kirschenbaum (1988).

Analysis of Cr. Ni. Cu. Zn. Rb. Sr. Y. Zr. Nb. Ba. La. and Ce bv EDXRFApproximately 1.0 g of 100-mesh, powdered sample is pressed into a Mylar cup.

Samples are analyzed using a Kevex 700 EDXRF spectrometer with a Kevex 7000 analyzer (Johnson, 1984; Johnson and King, 1987). The secondary targets used to fluoresce each element were: Cr = Iron; Ni, Cu, and Zn = Germanium; Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, and Nb = Silver; Ba, La, and Ce = Gadolinium. Corrections are made for background interferences, escape peaks, and spectral overlaps. Sources of error inherent to EDXRF analysis are corrected using the Compton ratio method. Trace element concentrations in the samples are calculated from calibration graphs of the intensity ratio versus concentration for a series of standard reference materials found in Abbey (1983).

Analysis of Nb bv IES/ICP-AESA 100 mg sample is decomposed with HNO3, HC1O4, and HF and evaporated to

dryness overnight. The residue is dissolved in 15 mL of 8N HC1. The solution is passed through an ion exchange column to remove the alkali metals. The chloride form of Nb is absorbed onto the resin. The column is washed with 5N HF to remove Fe. A solution of 7N HNO3 is poured through the column to quantitatively strip the Nb from the resin. This fraction is collected and evaporated to dryness. The residue is dissolved in 2 mL of 2N HC1 and analyzed by ICP-AES. Estimates of detection limits are given by Wilson et al. (1987).

Analysis of Be. Li. Ni V. and Y bv ICP-AESA 100 mg sample is decomposed with HNO3, HC1O4, and HF and evaporated to

dryness overnight. The residue is dissolved in 10 mL of 2N HC1. Analysis of Be, Li, Ni, V, and Y is done directly on this solution by ICP-AES (Lichte et al., 1987). Ni at <20 ppm was analyzed by the graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry method.

Analysis of Pb by AASA 100 mg sample is decomposed with HNO3, HC1O4, and HF and evaporated to

dryness overnight. The residue is dissolved in 10 mL of 2N HC1. Analysis of Pb was

done directly on the solution by flame atomic absorption (Aruscavage and Crock, 1987).

INAASample aliquants of -0.5 g each are irradiated for 6-8 hours at a flux of ~2xl012 n-

cm"2 -s' 1 in the "TRIGA" reactor at the U.S. Geological Survey, Denver, Colorado. Standards for most elements are aliquants of a powdered natural obsidian spiked with primary solutions, taken to dryness and homogenized. Standards for Ca, Ti, and Au are powdered CaCO3, TiO2, and homogeneous low-Au quartz, respectively. At least one replicate sample and one USGS standard rock are irradiated together with the samples and standards. Samples are counted three times on co-axial Ge and/or Ge(Li) detectors with resolutions ranging from 1.78 to 1.86 KeV measured at 1.33 MeV using the following scheme: 1 hour counts after 6-8 days of decay, 2 hour counts after 14-17 days of decay, and 2-4 hour counts -50 days after irradiation. In addition, one count is done on an intrinsic Ge, low-energy photon detector (for one hour, 8-10 days after irradiation).

Gamma-ray spectra are analyzed for Na, K, Ca, Sc, Ti, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Zr, Mo, Sb, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb, Lu, Hf, Ta, Au, Th, U, and W using the appropriate isotopes. Computer processing is done with SPECTRA and associated programs on a VAX11/780 computer or an IBM-PC compatible computer (Grossman and Baedecker, 1987; Baedecker and McKown, 1987; Baedecker and Grossman, 1989). Corrections are made for spectral interferences as well as for interferences on Zr, Mo, Ba, La, Ce, and Nd from the products of 235U fission produced during irradiation.

DATA TABLE EXPLANATIONS

One hundred and forty-nine lavas and five tephra have been analyzed. Three tables (Tables 2, 3, and 4) present the complete chemical data set acquired by chemists in the U.S. Geological Survey laboratories located in Reston, Virginia, Denver, Colorado, and Menlo Park, California. The following analysts are all from the Branch of Geochemistry, U.S. Geological Survey; P.A. Baedecker, J.N. Grossman, and G. Wandless (INAA), M.W. Doughten (IES/ICP-AES and AAS), J. Kent and J.R. Evans (EDXRF), CJ. Skeen (Cl-SIE & S-C/IRS), J.R. Gillison-Colbert (F-SIE), H. Smith, M.G. Kavulak, W.B. Crandell, and C.L. Prosser (FeO, CO2, H2O+ and H2O-), J. Taggart, J.S. Mee, A, Bartel, and D.F. Siems (WDXRF).

All tablesThe data for the major elements and volatiles are given usually to two decimal

places except SiO2, A12O3, and FeO. The Fe2O3 reported in the tables was derived by the following equation; Fe2O3 = Fe2O3total - (FeO 1.1113). Values reported as upper limits (e.g., < 0.01) are included but were at or below the indicated detection limit. The samples are listed in each table from the oldest to the youngest date of eruption and within each date, they are listed by decreasing MgO value. Other abbreviations are na = not analyzed or reported, LOI = loss on ignition, and FeOT = total iron calculated

as FeO.All the major elements and volatiles given in Table 2, 3, and 4 were analyzed by

the techniques described above. However, some elements were determined by more than one analytical procedure. In the explanation of the tables below, the particular preferred analytical technique selected for these elements is identified. Although all intermethod biases are believed to be less than 20%, in some cases the detection limits differ significantly.

SAMPLE LOCATIONS

We have used as a base for sampling (figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4) the recent map of Rosi et al., (1987) that includes new mapping plus historical reconstruction.

Explanation of sample location mapsThe pertinent geographic area containing the recent flows has been divided up into

three sections, western (fig. 1), central (fig. 2), and eastern (fig. 3) as noted in fig. 4. The 1:25000 scale map of Rosi et al. (1987) has been simplified in terms of the map patterns that distinguished the volcanic products of the period A.D. 1637-1944 (fig. 4). Appendix A provides details of the locations. The three maps are reproduced at a scale of 1:50000.
