crystallization
The intra-suite elemental variations can be best explained by fractional crystallization for reasons presented below.
Crustally-contaminated andesites could be produced by combined assimilation and fractional crystallization of basaltic magmas.
Crystallization proceeded to approximately the same stage in all orbicules, when the felsic shell started to form.
During crystallization of the orbicules, no mechanical transport of crystals out of the system can be proved.
The presence of quartz-filled microcracks in feldspar crystals suggests that deformation continued during cooling and crystallization.
Since the subsequent crystallization to form the orbicules only took place around discrete cores, all other pre-existing nuclei must have been removed.
In other cases parts of the structure (loops or domains) are removed during cloning to facilitate crystallization.

This indicates that the evolution of the alkaline samples is governed by fractional crystallization.
This supports the derivation of andesites from basaltic andesites by fractional crystallization processes.
This result precludes the groups having been directly related one to another by fractional crystallization.
