Abstract

We present the first data on the composition of plagioclase and quartz-hosted melt inclusions, plagioclase primary magmatic zoning and mineral compositions for the Upper Albian tuffites from the Bakhchysarai district. The estimated composition of the magmatic melts corresponds to the high potassium rhyolites. The measured water content in the melt inclusions reaches 4 wt %. The phenocrysts crystallized at the temperature within the range 820–860°C and under the pressure not less than 0.1 GPa. The Upper Albian tuffites from the Bakhchysarai district were formed in the active continental margin environment.
