Extract

During the examination of the basalts of Calciferous Sandstone age which are mapped on the one-inch Sheet 23 (Hamilton, Lanarkshire) Scotland, the peculiarities of zoning exhibited by the porphyritic felspar were studied in some detail. As only a summary of the details is possible in the memoir explanatory of the geology of this Sheet, the description of the zoning is offered here, and some conclusions regarding the magmatic history of the zoned felspars are presented.

page 547 note 2 According to C. Harloff (Zonal structure in plagioclases. Leidsche Geol.
