Abstract

A swarm of basaltic and camptonitic dykes in the Northern Highlands of Scotland has been studied. The dykes include monchiquite, olivine basalt, olivine dolerite, and camptonite, and a study of the relations of the various types in individual dykes suggests that the camptonites have arisen by the crystallization of late fractions from a magma of fairly normal dolerite type.
