The metasomes of a significant number of these migmatites were found not to fit the presently accepted definition of granite as a rock containing roughly equal proportions of quartz, orthoclase, and plagioclase. Field relationships show that many of the migmatites were derived from granite pegmatite dikes. Therefore, if anatexis is a factor in the genesis of the migmatites in this area this process must be relegated to a more remote stage of magma generation. This content is PDF only.
