 Terminology
 Type of Volcanic Facies
 Identification of Volcanic Facies
 Aplications of Volcanic Facies
 McPhie (1993): Lateral and/or vertical
changes in physical aspects of rock bodies
deposited within a specific interval of
geologic time.
 Schieferdecker (1959): the sum of the
lithological and paleontological characters
exhibit by a deposit at a particular point.
 Bronto (2006): sejumlah ciri litologi batuan
gunung api dalam kesamaan waktu pada
suatu lokasi tertentu.
Volcanic Facies are usually named according
to:
 Closeness to source: central, proximal,
medial and distal.
 Depositionalenvironment:
subaerial, shallow subaqueous, subglacial,
etc.
 Withindeposit type:
pyroclastic flow facies, hyalotuff facies,
dome facies, etc.
Volcanic facies on subaerial stratovolcano
divided into Bogie and McKenzie (1998):
 Central
 Proximal
 Medial
 Distal
 Geomorphological Analyses
 Volcanostratigraphy
 Physical Volcanology
 Structural Geology
 Petrology and Geochemistry
 Volcanic Summit = Central
 Volcanic Upper Slope = Proximal
 Volcanic Foot Slope = Medial
 Volcanic Plain = Distal

 Central
Siliceous Dome, Vent breccia, agglomerate, intrusive,
etc.
 Proximal
Lava, tuff breccia, lapili tuff, pyroclastic flows, etc
 Medial
Lahar and tuff
 Distal
Lacustrine siltstone, conglomerate, interbeded
sandstone and siltstone (volcaniclastic and
volcanogenic sedimentary rocks)
 Physical volcanology also known as
sedimentology analysis.
 Roundnessfrom Central to Distal
Very Angular – Well Rounded
 Sphericity
from Central to Distal
Very Elongate – Very Equent
 Skewnessfrom Central to Distal
Strongly coarse skewed – strongly fine

 Measuring strike/dip and slope also known as
initial dips also can used to identification the
volcanic facies.
 Central = 35o – 40o
 Proximal = 32o – 35o
 Medial = 11 – 32o
 Distal = 0o – 11o
Refers to the viewpoint of volcanology,
intrusive and extrusive rocks are an
integral process that occurs in
location and relatively the same age.

Therefore the petrological-geochemical of


extrusive and intrusive rocks can
considered derived from the same magma
with same affinity (co-magmatic
or coherent).
 Mineralization
 Environment
 Hazard and Mitigation
 Volcanic Center Concept for Gold
Exploration Strategy, Bronto & Hartono,
2003.
 Interaction between acid gases, metallic
elements, and the heat sources from magma
with meteoric water in the volcanic conduit
forming hydrothermal fluids that ultimately
results in alteration and mineralization
 Almost all of gold minings are in central
facies.
 Central and Proximal as a recharge zone

 Medial and Distal as a discharge zone
