The temporal evolution of the volcanic activity on Stromboli (Aeolian arc) is characterized by high-K calc-alkaline magmatism followed by shoshonitic magmatism. Rocks from the two series can be distinguished by their K and P concentrations, hygromagmaphile element concentrations, and Sr isotopic ratios, which are higher in the shoshonitic series than in high-K calc-alkaline series. The mantle oxygen isotopic ratios of the shoshonitic series (Javoy, 1976 [39]) suggest that these characteristics are generated in the upper mantle.
The geochemical and isotopic characteristics of the magmatism on Stromboli are midway between those of calc-alkaline rocks from the Aeolian arc and potassic rocks from Central Italy (Campanian region). The similarity between the most radiogenic and LILE-enriched samples of the shoshonitic series and the low-K magmatism in Central Italy suggests that the volcanism on Stromboli is the result of mantle mixing between a calc-alkaline magma and a radiogenic Sr/hygromagmaphile element-enriched magma, such as the high-K magmatism in Central Italy (Alban Hills). The chemical and isotopic characteristics of the differentiated samples can be explained by crustal contamination during the differentiation of the basic liquid by fractional crystallization. An anorthose-bearing xenolith with high Sr isotopic composition of crustal origin (0.71300) is a likely candidate for this crustal component.
