    • Most arc magmas have also undergone complex fractionation and contamination paths, which make attempts to quantify their petrogenesis difficult.
    • The petrogenesis and tectonic setting of the supersuite, and cogenetic felsic volcanic rocks, has been discussed in some detail by Griffin et al..
    • The petrogenesis of igneous rocks in the Albany-Fraser Province is not well constrained, although U-Pb zircon geochronology establishes that most granitic protoliths were not tectonically reworked Yilgarn Craton.
    • Some back-arc basalt samples from the East Scotia Sea have high alumina characteristics, suggesting the involvement of subduction-modified mantle sources in their petrogenesis.
    • Petrogenesis Igneous petrogenesis is the process or set of processes by which igneous rocks are formed.

  • petrogenetic

  • adjective
    Geology
    • The Sogneskollen Granitic Complex is Rb-poor while Sr, Ba and NaO show rather large abundances; these have important petrogenetic implications if they represent the magmatic concentrations.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • It thus appears that melting of quartzofeldspathic rocks with greywacke-like bulk composition in the presence of a water-bearing fluid phase may be an appropriate petrogenetic model for the Sogneskollen Granitic Complex.
      • As for so many cases in the Earth sciences, the igneous geologist has to work back in time using all available field, geochemical, and experimental data to construct a viable petrogenetic history for any particularly igneous rock.
      • Zircon is an important phase for the petrogenetic interpretation as all the separated grains have rounded, detrital cores with thin euhedral overgrowths.
      • The revised age for the Jozini Formation rhyolites is also of significance for petrogenetic models proposed for the Karoo silicic magmatism.
