On the changed composition of an anorthoclase-bearing rock-glass1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Extract
The present investigation began with an attempt to isolate and analyse the small sparse anorthoclase insets (t)henocrysts) of the chilled glassy selvage of a felsite dike. On comparison of the compositions of the insets and the host rock it was found that the relationship was abnormal and that the insets could not have grown in a magma represented by the glass. The composition of the felsite interior of the dike, however, represents a magma which could have yielded the anorthoclase, and full consideration leads to the conclusion that the glass, though absolutely fresh and unaltered in appearance, has suffered marked changes in composition.
