Most lava flows in the sequence are alkali basalts (Fo84-76 olivine, En44-36 diopside, An83-31 plagioclase) showing geochemical affinity of typical ocean island basalts. The scarce most evolved members are mugearites (olivine absent, En41-31 clinopyroxene, An51-26 plagioclase, and kaersutite). The compositional variations between both the types are explained by crystal fractionation and extraction of pyroxene (up to 29%) and lesser proportions of olivine and Fe and Ti oxides (Cpx: 75; Ol: 21; OxFeTi: 4). The transition to mugearites from the most evolved basalts would mainly be due to extraction of pyroxene (24%) and Fe and Ti oxides (Cpx: 68; Ol: 3; Plag: 5; OxFeTi: 30). 0213-683X https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/50435 http://www.sociedadgeologica.es/ Composición y evolución de las lavas de la isla de Branco (Cabo Verde)
