Scientific paper

The minor- and trace-element composition of plagioclase of ferroan anorthosite is of special significance because it is used to infer the composition and the geochemical and petrologic evolution of the magma from which it crystallized. It is therefore important to understand not only the distribution of trace elements between plagioclase and melts of relevant temperature, pressure, and composition, but also whether any post-crystallization mechanisms have modified the primary plagioclase compositions. Two potential modification mechanisms are recrystallization and exsolution, driven by either late-magmatic, subsolidus, or impact processes.
