Discrimination between primary magmatic biotites, reequilibrated biotites and neoformed biotites

The ternary diagram TiO 2 –FeO*–MgO (FeO* = FeO + MnO) is proposed as a quantitative objective tool for distinguishing between primary magmatic biotites and those that are more or less reequilibrated, or possibly neoformed, by or within a hydrothermal fluid. The limit of the domains of the primary m... View More
