Sector-zoned kaersutite in camptonites from Morocco
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 July 2018
Abstract
Camptonites from the Taourirt region of Morocco contain kaersutite crystals that exhibit clear sector zoning. The electron microprobe reveals systematic variations between sectors, with preferential enrichment of Mg and Si in sector (011) and higher values for Fe, Ti and Al in sectors (110) or (100). These differences are similar to those recorded in clinopyroxenes with hour-glass zoning where this type of crystallization has been known for more than a century.
