Biotites in granites, biotites in gneisses, and the status of biotite as a one-mineral environment indicator

Some aspects of one-mineral geological environment indicators are discussed. Factors controlling the composition of biotite in different P, T, and chemical environments are reviewed. On the basis of theoretical considerations and empirical observation it is concluded that biotites in igneous granite...
