Summary

A modification to the CIPW norm, to account for the presence of biotite or muscovite or both in granite rocks, is described. The modification is most significant in norms that have been reduced to three components and plotted on experimental phase diagrams, such as the systems Q-Or-Ab and Or-Ab-An.
