During the Ediacaran to Cambrian periods, the extensive Avalonian–Cadomian accretionary orogen formed along the northern margin of the Gondwana (Pannotia) supercontinent. One of the best-preserved magmatic arcs within this orogenic system is the Davle volcanic complex (DVC) in the Teplá–Barrandian unit of the Bohemian Massif. Using detailed field observations, petrography, major/trace element concentrations, Nd–Hf isotopic compositions as well as U–Pb zircon dating, we interpret a complex evolutionary history of the DVC as comprising three main stages. The first stage (∼610–570 Ma) is represented by a volcano-plutonic association of andesite, dacite, rhyolite and tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (metamorphosed to orthogneiss). A wide range of major/trace element contents together with highly variable ε values (+3.6 to –5.1) suggest derivation from a juvenile (mantle-derived) source with subsequent assimilation of cratonic crust during magma emplacement, also supported by the modelling of the assimilation–fractional crystallization (AFC) process. The second stage (∼580–560 Ma) is characterized by a gradual termination of the volcanic arc activity, followed by a deposition of marine siliciclastic succession comprising, from the bottom to the top, laminated tuffs, silicified black shales (Lečice Member), and a thick turbidite greywacke–shale–conglomerate sequence (Štěchovice Group). The third stage of poorly constrained age (∼570–500 Ma) is represented by an intra-arc extension and intrusion of juvenile trondhjemite and related rhyolite dykes (ε +4.8 to +8.4). Finally, we compare these findings with zircon U–Pb ages and whole-rock Nd isotopic data from other Cadomian terranes and propose that the cratonic crust played an important role in recycling along the whole orogenic belt. Thus, we conclude that the Cadomian Orogen formed as a collage of fringing (such as modern Japan, Taiwan, or Philippines) and continental (as modern Andes) arcs of variable evolutionary stages rather than as a belt dominated by intra-oceanic island arcs.
