Liquid immiscibility between trachyte and carbonate in ash flow tuffs from Kenya
@article{Macdonald1993LiquidIB, title={Liquid immiscibility between trachyte and carbonate in ash flow tuffs from Kenya}, author={R. Macdonald and B. Kjarsgaard and I. Skilling and G. R.

Three thin, syn-caldera ash flow tuffs of the Suswa volcano, Kenya, contain pumiceous clasts and globules of trachytic glass, and clasts rich in carbonate globules, in a carbonate ash matrix. Petrographic and textural evidence indicates that the carbonate was magmatic. The trachyte is metaluminous to mildly peralkaline and varies from nepheline- to quartz-normative. The carbonate is calcium-rich, with high REE and F contents. The silicate and carbonate fractions have similar 143Nd/144Nd values… CONTINUE READING
