The quartz–coesite transition curve has been determined over the temperature range 700° to 1700°C in the pressure range 20 to 40 kb. The equation for the curve isP= 19.5 + 0.0112T, wherePis in kilobars andTis in degrees centigrade. The determination was made with an internally heated tungsten carbide pressure vessel utilizing talc for a pressure medium. The results of some runs on the quartz–coesite transition with an anvil apparatus are described. These data are in poor agreement with the determination cited above, and the difference is interpreted as an effect of pressure gradients in quartz–coesite runs in the anvil apparatus. Quartz could not invert to coesite in the earth at depths less than about 100 km, and it is therefore unlikely that coesite has formed in crustal rocks.
