On the Processes by which a Plagioclase Felspar is converted into a Scapolite

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  14 March 2018

Extract

Few mineralogical problems are of greater interest at the present time than those connected with the metamorphism of rocks. We are called upon to determine the exact series of processes by which a rock, having a particular texture and consisting of certain mineral species, is converted into a totally dissimilar rock, possessing, not only a different structure, but a distinct mineralogical constitution.
