Abstract: Comparative Morphology of Orthoclase Crystals
By
Rice University Master of Arts thesis, 36 p., 1 pl, 13 figs. May, 1965
Crystal populations of three small intrusive igneous bodies were sampled and
parameters of the volume of the crystals and the areas of the accessory faces
130, 111, 021, 101 of the crystals were determined and measured. These data
were subjected to statistical and graphical analyses. The results show that not
only the environment, but also the mode of growth of a crystal (twinned versus
untwinned) determines the habit of the crystal and the extent of development of
the accessory faces of the crystal. End_of_Record - Last_Page 16--------
