Summary

Phase-equilibrium relations have been determined at 1000 kg/cm2 water pressure for compositions within the system NaAlSi3O8-KalSi3O8-NaAlSiO4-KAlSiO4 in the area adjacent to the temperature minimum. The composition and temperature of the minimum are Ne50Ks19Qz31 and 750° ± 7° C respectively. The compositions of 102 plutonic rocks and 122 extrusive rocks, from Washington's tables, that carry 80% or more of normative Ab + Or + Ne have been plotted; the areas of high density show a marked similarity to the positions of the low-temperature regions of the synthetic system and suggest that many undersaturated rocks are derived by fractional crystallization from a trachytic magma.
