Igneous rock forming minerals carry valuable information from the deep earth that is not directly accessible at the surface. Each mineral represents the physico-chemical conditions at which various magmatic processes have occured over a wide range of depths from upper mantle to shallow crustal levels. These processes are cryptically inscribed in the whole-rock and mineral compositions (e.g. major elements, trace elements and isotopic ratios) and textures (equilibrium vs. disequilibrium features), together with intensive variables (e.g. pressure, P; temperature, T). Therefore, particular attention should be given to igneous minerals to understand better the processes that took place during their journey from the source through magma chambers and conduit systems to the Earth's surface.MagMin_PT is an Excel^© based user-friendly program, designed to calculate mineral formulae and end-members, and to estimate pressure and temperature (e.g. geothermobarometry) from electron microprobe analytical data. The program operates using the most common igneous rock-forming minerals (olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, biotite, feldspar, magnetite, ilmenite, apatite and zircon), resulting in various classification diagrams and P–T diagrams. The program allows for whole-rock or glass composition to be entered together with the EPMA data to evalaute the equilibration status for most P–T calculation models. Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ estimation is routinely performed in MagMin_PT based on stoichiometric constraints, and to some extent using machine learning methods for different iron-bearing minerals. MagMin_PT is also able to carry calculations of fugacity, magmatic water content and saturation temperature. Graphical and numerical outputs produced by the program can be easily copied to other media for further processing.

Subduction-related environments are complex geological sites where various magmas occur in close spatial and temporal association. To better understand geological processes led to the generation of compositionally distinct magmas, we need to know the origin and evolution of magmas formed in these settings. Our purpose here is to determine the genesis of the Sulutas Volcanic Complex (SVC), located near Konya (Central Anatolia, Turkey) and to understand its relation to the subduction-related processes. Based on a detailed field study of the SVC, we present here Ar-Ar geochronology, mineral chemistry, whole-rock major, trace element and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope data. The SVC can be subdivided into three distinct chemical groups. The oldest group (~16 Ma) characterized by bimodal association is composed of Na-alkaline basaltic rocks and adakitic dacite. The Na-alkaline basaltic rocks were derived from an OIB-like enriched asthenospheric mantle source, but the adakitic dacites from a mafic lower crust. Geochemistry of potassic lamprophyres (~13.5 to 12.5 Ma), the second group, can be best explained by melting of a depleted lithospheric mantle source that was metasomatized by slab-derived sediment melts. This metasomatic component generated phlogopite-rich veins in their source. The youngest group (~13 to 11 Ma), high-K calc-alkaline rocks (HKCA) is composed of basalt, andesite and mafic enclave-bearing dacite. Parental magmas to the HKCA are consistent with the derivation from a lithospheric mantle source metasomatized by fluid-like subduction components. Geochemical variations in the HKCA can be explained by magmatic processes (e.g. assimilation-fractional crystallization for basalt and dacite, fractional crystallization for andesite) from a common parental magma similar to the mafic enclave. The SVC composed of orogenic and anorogenic rocks occurred in a graben-like extensional basin in the Central Anatolia, and this extensional tectonics is related to the retreating subduction zone along the Cyprus arc within the convergence system of the African-Eurasian plates during Miocene.
