Abstract

Numerous new studies have been done over the last ten years on the minor isomorphous substitutions in Na-K white micas. These results, from over a hundred papers, are reviewed and critically discussed here. Special emphasis is given to the new advances which the authors perceive as having a direct petrogenetic significance for understanding metamorphic rocks.

Riassunto

Negli ultimi dieci sono stati compiuti molti studi sulle sostituzioni isomorfe minori nelle miche sodico-potassiche. I relativi risultati sono contenuti in un centinaio di pubblicazioni. Il presente lavoro è una rassegna critica di questi risultati, e pone particolare attenzione a quelli che vengono ritenuti rilevanti per la comprensione petrogenetica delle rocce metamorfiche.
