โœฆ Synopsis


Evaluation of available experimental and petrochemical evidence suggests that variations of potassium, titanium and aluminium in basalts can be explained by the melting of titaniferous phlogopite at depths exceeding about 60 km in the upper mantle. For tholeiitie basalts, an inverse covariance is reeognised between titanium and aluminium which is probably controlled by the depth of magma segregation. The relative effects of pressure and phlogopite breakdown have been estimated for selected suites of alkali basalt.

For each "simple basalt" magma type --alkaline, critically undersaturated, and oversaturated --there is a possible trachyte derived by way of fractional crystallization.

Fassaitic augite (augite 3) occurs in elinopyroxenite fragments with cumulus textures or as anhedral crystals in alkali basalts and nepheline basanites of the Hocheifel Area. Rimming of augite 3 by phenocrystic augite (augite 2) followed by groundmass augite (augite 4) defines the sequence of the cl
