In connection with the discovery of lunar rock textures indicating late-stage formation of a K2O-rich silicate liquid, serious consideration is being given to the possible importance of silicate liquid immiscibility. The results of a reinvestigation of the K2O-FeO-Al2O3-SiO2 system are discussed, taking into account electron scanning microscopy studies combined with electron microprobe analyses. The investigation makes it possible to delineate the extent of the two-liquid field and to determine the compositions of the two coexisting liquids. An evaluation of the results of the investigation confirms the validity of the suggestion that the granophyres found in close association with ferro-gabbroic rocks may be produced by a process of liquid immiscibility.
