Abstract

Some lapilli and bombs occurring in the ash ejecta around Eifel in Germany were investigated by the author and one such contained pitch-black shining crystal-aggregates, which on detailed study were found to contain kaersutite, having a chemical formula obtained by wet chemistiy as: (Si5.,Al2.3) (Al0.2Ti„.4Fe3 + 0.5Mn0.01 Mg3.2) (Ca2.0 Na0.6 K0.4 P0.01) (O, OH, F)32.Fe2+ and Fe3 + contents determined by MOSSBAUER were different from chemical data and are in the ratio of 73 : 27. High content of A1203 (3.87—10.84 wt. %) with Tschermak's component ranging from 5.9 to 18.4 mol. p.c. in clino-pyroxenes in the wehrlite and clinopyroxenite inclusions in the volcanics of Eifel region suggest the parent magmas to be alkali-basalt in composition. The chemistry of kaersutite suggests that the crystallization took place in hydrous condition in the lowest part of the crust.
