Disregarding volcanic facies, all rhyolites have similar immobile trace element contents. However, they show a contrasting hydrothermal alteration on currently used alteration plots: volcaniclastic rocks mainly plot as albitized rocks, whereas coherent rocks plot as weakly altered rocks. Also, a sharp contrast is shown between regional and focused, VHMS-related alteration trends. Differences in the degree of regional alteration between volcaniclastic and coherent rocks are to be related to contrasting permeability, resulting in different water-rock ratios during hydrothermal processes. Accordingly, coherent rocks are to be preferred as least-altered samples for mass balance and other geochemical purposes}, keywords = {Hydrothermal alteration}, keywords = {Geochemistry rhyolites}, keywords = {Iberian Pyrite Belt}, keywords = {Spain}, title = {Alteración diferencial de las rocas volcánicas ácidas en el sector de Riotinto, Faja Pirítica Ibérica}, title = {Differential alteration of acid volcanic rocks in the Riotinto area, Iberian Pyrite Belt, Spain}, author = {Donaire Romero, Teodosio and Toscano Macías, Manuel and Valenzuela Aznar, Alfonso and González Roldán, Manuel Jesús and Pascual Martínez, Emilio}, }
