In situ crystallization of non-cotectic and foliated igneous rocks on a magma chamber floor

Nucleation of plagioclase in a thin residual compositional boundary layer could explain the formation of non-cotectic foliated rocks in layered igneous intrusions, according to geochemical analyses of magnetite cumulates from the Bushveld Complex, South Africa
