On Estimating the Magnitude of the Hidden Zone and the Compositions of the Residual Liquids of the Skaergaard Layered Series

Abstract

Wager's more general assumptions about the relations between the layered series of Skaergaard and its parent magma form the basis for a simple procedure by which, from the composition of the proposed initial magma and the compositions and amounts of the exposed zones, the amount and composition of the hidden zone and the compositions of liquids remaining after the consolidation of each zone are readily computed.
