Abstract

Ten clinopyroxenes have been investigated chemically and optically. Eight of these were separated from the rocks of the Garbh Eilean sill and two from other rocks relevant to this inquiry into the trend during crystallization of pyroxenes in minor basic intrusions of mildly alkaline and undersaturated type.
