For a number of large volume ash-flow tuffs, the temperatures from two-feldspar geothermometry are consistently lower than temperatures obtained by iron-titanium oxide geothermometry by as much as 150'C (assuming low pressure). The iron-titanium oxide temperature is essentially independent of pressure, but the two-feldspar temperature has a pressure dependence of l8'C/kbar. The pressure for which the calculated temperatures correspond should indicate the depth oforigin ofthe phenocryst assemblage. Although the present experimental calibration of these geothermometers is uncertain, other types of data suggest that
