Item#: AM-09-027
Values for element partitioning between tourmaline and a variety of co-existing minerals (muscovite, chlorite, biotite, plagioclase, garnet, and staurolite). Temperature estimates using the Ti-in-biotite thermometer of Henry et al. (2005) are given for each biotite-tourmaline couple. All analyses of tourmaline and corresponding exchange phases are also given. These data have not been filtered for bad analyses.
