Major element composition and preliminar trace element data for 138 samples of mainly basic and intermediate volcanic rocks from a cross section between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of Nicaragua suggests that the present tectonic setting-subdution of an oceanic plate below the western margin of Central American can be extrapolated back to the middle Tertiary. The samples can be divided into three groups with regard to their chemistry: (a) the Recent to Tertiary volcanics from the entire traverse, (b) Cretaceous lavas from the Siuna mining district in NE Nicaragua, and (c) young basalts from Corn Island off Bluefields on the Atlantic coast. Teh first (and by far the largest) group are calc-alkaline volcanic arc lavas beloging to the high...
