Geochemical and Sr-Nd-O isotopic data presented for basaltic andesitic to rhyolitic and for quartz noritic to monzogranitic rock suites from the Late Hercynian calc-alkaline Atesina volcanic complex (AVC) and the Cima d'Asta pluton (CAP), Southern Alps (northern Italy), provide information on both the primary magmatic processes and the effects of (mainly Triassic) hydrothermal overprint. Fluid infiltration led to mobilization of major and trace elements (K 2 O, Na 2 O, CaO, Rb, Sr, and Ba), opensystem behavior in total-rock Rb-Sr, and shift in 18 O to elevated values (total rock up to 16.6%. and volcanic matrix up to 17.8%.). Oxygen isotopic disequilibrium between quartz-feldspar pairs suggests water-rock interaction at medium/low temperatures. The 18 O values of quartz, the REE characterized by regular LREE enrichment/HREE depletion, and the Sm-Nd isotopic signatures, however, remained virtually unaffected by secondary processes. The initial Nd values (at 270 Ma) of the AVC and CAP magmatites are restricted to overlapping ranges of -3.6 to -6.5 and of -2.7 to -6.5, respectively, indicating significant crustal contribution; these values and associated T DM model ages of 1.1-1.6 Ga agree well with those of typical South Alpine lower crustal magmatites. The AVC and CAP rocks do not follow the "normal" trend of increasingly crustal Nd isotopic signatures with progressive degree of magma evolution expected for a single-stage AFC-type process, but instead display an inversion of this relationship. Geochemical and isotopic constraints favor a model of a large-scale MASH-type melting and mixing zone at or near the base of the continental crust. Distinct elemental enrichment/depletion and REE crossover patterns displayed by high-silica as compared to less silicic AVC rhyolites suggest subsequent magma evolution within a shallow-level compositionally zoned chamber.
