    AnnotationThree groups of Late Palaeozoic volcanic rocks can be distinguished in the Krkonoše Piedmont Basin: (1) trachyandesites, andesites  trachytes, trachydacites, (II) basaltic trachyandesites, basaltic andesites  basalts, trachybasalts, and (III) rhyolites. Volcanic activity started in the Late Carboniferous, producing calcalkaline (basic) to intermediate volcanics of group I in the southern part of the Krkonoše Piedmont Basin, and migrated north during the Permian, producing calc-alkaline transitional (mildly alkaline ?) intermediate and acid volcanics of groups II and III. Volcanic rocks of intermediate composition are of Carboniferous and permian ages, whereas acid volcanics prevailed in the Permian. Basic to intermediate rock members (groups I and II) represent mantle-derived products affected by crustal contamination during the assimilation-fractional crystallization (AFC) process. Although the primary magma composition is obscured by pervasive crustal assimilation, DM or HIMU sources are more probable than the EM source.
