Abstract

The Baleendah area, Baleendah District, Bandung Regency, West Java, contains andesitic-dacitic volcanic rocks produced during the second eruptive phase of Baleendah Volcano (~2.8–3.2 Ma). Major-oxide XRF analyses of four representative samples (ESR 02, ESR 14, ESR 18, ESR 22) yield SiO2 contents of 57.6–63.3 wt.%, classifying the rocks as andesite on the Total Alkali–Silica diagram. The FeOt/MgO vs. SiO2 diagram and AFM ternary diagram both place the samples within the tholeiitic series field; ESR 14 is transitional with the highest FeOt/MgO ratio of 9.45. Harker variation diagrams reveal systematic decreases in Al2O3, CaO, MgO, and FeOt with increasing SiO2, consistent with fractional crystallisation of plagioclase, pyroxene, and Fe–Ti oxides. Compared to the older Pliocene calc-alkaline suite from the Southern Bandung area (samples KRM and CPN), the ESR samples show lower MgO, CaO, Sr, V, and Co concentrations alongside higher FeOt/MgO ratios, indicating a more iron-enriched, more evolved magma. The tholeiitic character, elevated FeOt/MgO, and depleted compatible element concentrations collectively point to advanced fractional crystallisation under relatively low oxygen fugacity within a shallow crustal magma chamber beneath the Baleendah volcanic system.

Abstract

The Gunung Buligir Intrusive Complex in Bantarujeg, Majalengka Regency, West Java, is an andesitic to dioritic intrusive body that penetrates Tertiary sedimentary sequences of the Halang and Kaliwangu Formations, yet its petrographic variability and alteration evolution remain poorly constrained. This study aims to systematically characterize mineral assemblages, textures, and hydrothermal alteration patterns to better understand fluid–rock interaction during arc-related magmatism. This study presents revised and elaborated petrographic characterization of five thin-section samples (BTRJ1–BTRJ5), integrating modal point-counting data (1,000 points per sample), detailed alteration mineralogy, and systematic textural analysis. Four of five samples (BTRJ1, 2, 3, 5) are classified as porphyry microdiorite with a microplagioclase groundmass, while BTRJ4 is classified as a diorite with a more equigranular texture (0.5 mm crystal size). The primary phenocryst assemblage is dominated by plagioclase (averaging ~28% as phenocrysts) and hornblende/amphibole (~13%), with clinopyroxene identified exclusively in BTRJ4 (~6%). Quartz ranges from <1% (BTRJ2) to ~5% (BTRJ3). Secondary alteration is dominated by a propylitic assemblage of chlorite, epidote, calcite, sericite, and secondary quartz. Alteration intensity is ranked BTRJ3 > BTRJ2 > BTRJ4 > BTRJ5 > BTRJ1. The spatial variability in alteration intensity and the occurrence of corona textures indicate a multi-stage hydrothermal system involving evolving fluid composition and temperature conditions. These results provide new insights into the coupling between magmatic crystallization and hydrothermal processes in Neogene arc intrusions and contribute to a better understanding of alteration zoning and fluid evolution in the Bogor Zone, West Java.
