Partial Melting of Pacific Rocks from the Aureole of the Laramie Anorthosite Complex

PI建议使用拉勒米斜长岩的天然样品来研究泥质岩的部分熔融。目标是：(1)约束泥质岩中的相平衡并确定熔体成分；(2)检验与斜长岩侵入有关的围岩熔融模型；(3)评价深熔井对斜长岩浆的污染。将使用化学分析、岩石学研究和实验研究来实现这些目标。

The PI proposes to study partial melting of pelitic rocks using natural samples of the Laramie Anorthosite. Goals are to: (1) constrain phase equilibria in pelitic rocks and determine melt compositions; (2) test the model of wall rock melting associated with the anorthosite intrusion; (3) evaluate contamination of the anorthosite magma by anatectic wells. Chemical analyses, petrologic studies, and experimental studies will be used to attain these goals.
