X?ray measurements on some plagioclases from the Mt Davies intrusion, South Australia
X?ray measurements on some plagioclases from the Mt Davies intrusion, South Australia
An X-ray determinative curve, based on the parameter (Smith & Gay, 1958) has been derived from twelve analysed plagioclases in the range An62-87. The line differs from previous calibrations of against anorthite content, and it is suggested that this is due to the differing thermal histories of the materials used. A break in slope in the determinative line at about An75 may correspond to the change in lattice type from low intermediate plagioclase, to "body centred" anorthite. Heating of the plagioclases results in an increase in I' and the disappearance of the discontinuity.

Abstract
An X-ray determinative curve, based on the parameter (Smith & Gay, 1958) has been derived from twelve analysed plagioclases in the range An62-87. The line differs from previous calibrations of against anorthite content, and it is suggested that this is due to the differing thermal histories of the materials used. A break in slope in the determinative line at about An75 may correspond to the change in lattice type from low intermediate plagioclase, to "body centred" anorthite. Heating of the plagioclases results in an increase in I' and the disappearance of the discontinuity.
