Abstract
In the gabbroic Messejana–Plasencia dyke we have distinguished three types of pyroxenes: enstatite,
pigeonite and augite. Enstatite and augite have been the first minerals that have crystallized at high T
(1100ºC – 1150ºC). Pigeonites (@1000ºC) are later and finally appear symplectic two-pyroxene intergrowths
around the orthopyroxene. Plagioclase have a continuous zonation with cores of An75 towards rims of
An18. Occasionally, there is a micrographic intergrowth of orthoclase–quartz or albite-quartz interstitially
to the plagioclase and pyroxene framework. Three types of amphibole have been distinguished: ferroedenite,
magnesiohornblende and ferroactinolite. The estimated temperature range of amphibole crystallization is
low suggesting that most amphiboles are subsolidus. Finally, biotite are FeO and TiO2 rich, its crystallization
being late when residual liquids were enriched in those elements.
