A study of plagioclase zoning

The zoning of plagioclase feldspars was studied with the four-axis universal stage. The composition, in terms of the extinction angle X’ʌ010, ⊥a, was measured for each zone in several crystals in each of nearly fifty rocks. The values of the extinction angles for each zone were plotted against the d...
