Résumé
In Roque del Conde Old Edifice at the south of Tenerife Island there are domatic structures called “roques” that are formed by intrusive salic rocks of acidic and intermediate compositions, and alkaline and strongly alkaline: trachyandesites, phonolites and trachytes. Some of the roques are compositionally homogeneous whereas others have a compositional variation in different zones. Trachyandesites follow a lineal pattern with the most basic rocks of Roque del Conde edifice and have been formed by a process of fractional crystallization. Trachytes and phonolites follow different patterns from the former. They are essentially controlled by fractional crystallization processes, where plagioclase and K-feldspars are the main removed phases. Accessory phases like Ti-magnetite, sphene and apatite, or amphibole have also an important role in these processes.
