Greetings,
Utku Solpuker, an M.S.-level graduate student in our Department, is working
on the petrogenesis of alkaline basalts from western Turkey -- these are
rift-related basanites, phonotephrites, tephriphonolites, and trachybasalts
erupted at 1.1 Ma, 300 ka, and 30 ka. Mineral assemblages are characterized
by cpx + ol + pl + Fe-Ti oxides + kaersutite.
We are interested in calculating P-T conditions of crystallization. We are
particularly interested in using the kaersutite compositions since
kaersutite may be one of the first phases to crystallize. We would
appreciate receiving references, etc. relevant for our petrogentic
calculations.

Many thanks.
