The generation of layers of magma in planes perpendicular to directions of active contraction, whether millimetre-scale leucosomes or multi-kilometre-scale batholiths, remains an intriguing dilemma. It is important because ...
Enclaves are often incorrectly used to measure magmatic strains in plutons. We emphasize that microgranitoid enclaves are not like other ellipsoidal markers used to determine strain for the following reasons. (1) Adjacent ...
