RI040 Anorthosite

Class: 5C
Name: Audrey Davison
Year: 2017 – 2018
地質年代:元古代化學組成, 鍵及結構:主要為斜長石長石(90-100%),具有最低鎂鐵質組分(0-10%)。輝石,鈦鐵礦,磁鐵礦和橄欖石是最常見的鎂鐵礦物。 Geological Age: Proterozoic Eon

Chemical composition, bonding and structure: Mostly plagioclase feldspar (90–100%), with a minimal mafic component (0–10%).

Pyroxene, ilmenite, magnetite, and olivine are the mafic minerals most commonly present.

形成:岩漿在地殼岩漿房中融化形成低密度斜長石和殘餘液體,其密度大於封閉地殼岩石的密度。然後它凝固成密集的富鐵堆積物並被移除到地幔。原生物:元古代斜長岩 Formation: Magma melts in crustal magma chambers to form low-density plagioclase and a residual liquid whose density was greater than that of enclosing crustal rocks. Then it solidifies as dense Fe-rich cumulates and being removed to the mantle.
