Crystallization timescales in subvolcanic systems and the consequences of interaction between ascending magmas and gases remain largely unconstrained, as do links between these processes and monitoring signals at restless volcanoes. We apply diffusion chronometry to radially-oriented plagioclase and associated olivine in a glomerocryst from Tolbachik volcano (Kamchatka, Russia) to elucidate such processes. We show that cm-size glomerocrysts grow in a few days prior to, or during, eruption. Melt inclusions from these glomerocrysts show no compositional evolution during crystallization, implying growth in a melt-rich and dynamic environment. Volatile elements in melt inclusions show significant variability, with increasing CO2as H2O decreases. This behaviour is inconsistent with normal degassing processes, and more likely reflects CO2-fluxing. On the basis of short residence timescales of glomerocrysts and sharp changes in melt inclusion volatile abundances, we propose that rapid (pre-)eruptive crystallization is controlled by rhythmic fluxing of magmatic H2O and CO2through the sub-volcanic conduit. This implies that compositional zoning in plagioclase, from resorption textures to oscillatory zoning, record short-term CO2- and H2O-fluxing episodes, consistent with strombolian eruption dynamics. We propose that volcanic glomerocrysts represent the counterpart of vertical igneous layering (or comb layering) in shallow plutons. Magmatic layering and glomerocrysts dominated by radial plagioclase offer novel ways of targeting short-term crystallization and degassing processes in subvolcanic systems.
