The magmatic oceanic crust mainly consists of mafic rock types like plutonic gabbros and volcanic basalts. Comparable small amounts of felsic rocks with >60 wt% SiO2 are known in the oceanic crust in forms of intrusive veins and plagiogranite bodies but only rarely in form of erupted lavas. Plagiogranitic rocks are well known from ophiolite complexes, which represent a typical sequence of rocks formed in an oceanic setting obducted and exposed on land. Ophiolites therefore provide an easy and less expensive opportunity to study oceanic crustal rocks and those magmatic evolution processes. This thesis focuses on the particular information content provided by felsic rocks concerning various processes during crustal formation. The importance...
