Abstract
This chapter presents new data on the chemistry of Ballachulish igneous rocks (Sects. 4.1.1, 4.1.2), considering the effects of assimilation and hybridization (Sect. 4.1.3). A section on solidus temperatures and the granite system (Sect. 4.1.4) introduces several condensed paragraphs on mineral chemistry, phase relationships and geothermometry (Sect. 4.2; see Weiss and Troll 1989 for further details). The implications for fluid activity and the order of crystallization (Sect. 4.3, Fig. 4.11) are given ahead of a comprehensive summary on the petrogenesis of the Ballachulish pluton (Sect. 4.4).
