Figure 5. Chemical classification of pyroxenes in transitional basalts. (a) Position of pyroxenes in transitional basalt in the Q-J diagram of [22]; (b) Distribution of clinopyroxene of basalt in the Ti/(Ca + Na) diagram of [10]; (c) Mg-Ca-Fe2++Fe3++Mn diagram of pyroxenes [16]; (d) Position of clinopyroxenes in transitional basalts in the AlIV vs. AlIV diagram [23,24]. The domain limits are of [25]. RMC: fields of refractory mantle clinopyroxene [26]. HP=high pressure; LP=low pressure
