Mass balance of complementary metasomatic processes using isocon analysis.

This study develops a method to estimate the redistribution of elements during several associated metasomatic processes simultaneously involved in the formation of a geological complex The method is based on classical mass balancing using isocon analysis. The proposed approach is applicable if geological prerequisites indicate that (a) the metasomatic rocks inherited some components (, etc.) from one of the earlier rocks of the studied complex; (b) these components have been transported by a fluid; and (c) this saturated fluid has produced several varieties of metasomatic rocks rich in components , etc.
