Short summary
Members of the epidote supergroup, epidote, clinozoisite, allanite, and ferriallanite, are described from the calcium–aluminum silicate and thermometamorphic zones in drill cores obtained from the Mofete and San Vito wells in the Campi Flegrei (Italy) geothermal field. Compositional zoning is ubiquitous. The epidote group encompasses nearly the complete range of coupled Al–Fe3+ substitution, and the allanite group is light rare earth element enriched.
