The medium- to high-K calc-alkaline subduction-related Dokhan volcanic rocks of the Wadi Hamad area record two flare-up events during the history of a Neoproterozoic continental island arc, an early pulse dominated by andesite and a later pulse dominated by dacite. The trace element abundances and (La/Yb)(n) ratios of the basalts, andesites and dacites all overlap, contrary to the expectations of a single fractional crystallization trend, suggesting the need for three distinct parental magmas for the three groups. The parental magmas of the basalts and andesites were generated by variable degrees of partial melting of subduction-metasomatized mantle, whereas that of the dacites requires mixing of mantle and crustal melts. The andesites and dacites both evolved mostly through fractionation of clinopyroxene and plagioclase, accompanied by apatite and Fe-Ti oxides in the more evolved dacitic rocks. Oscillatory and reverse zoning in clinopyroxene and plagioclase indicates that magma replenishment and mixing played a role in the genesis of the basalts and andesites. Depth-sensitive geochemical parameters show that the earlier andesites evolved at deeper levels in the arc crust compared with the later dacites, but not so deep as to stabilize garnet as a fractionating phase. Estimated values of the arc crust thickness indicate that the crust thickened from similar to 35 km to similar to 50 km from the time of basalt eruption to the time of andesite eruption, probably implying a high rate of crustal growth. The estimated arc crust thickness during the later subduction flare-up is slightly less than that of the earlier one despite ongoing magmatic addition, implying that arc crust delamination began before the production of the later dacites. The subduction-related geochemical characteristics of the Dokhan volcanic rocks suggest that the terminal collision between East and West Gondwana in the tip of the Nubian Shield occurred at similar to 600 Ma.
