Data on the distribution ratio (&lt;span class="math"&gt;&lt;span id="MathJax-Element-1-Frame" class="MathJax_SVG" data-mathml="&lt;math xmlns=&amp;quot;http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML&amp;quot;&gt;&lt;mtext&gt;K&lt;/mtext&gt;&lt;msub&gt;&lt;mi&gt;&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mn&gt;d&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;/msub&gt;&lt;mtext&gt;=&lt;/mtext&gt;&lt;mtext&gt;Mn&lt;/mtext&gt;&lt;msub&gt;&lt;mi&gt;&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mn&gt;hornblende&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;/msub&gt;&lt;mtext&gt;Mn&lt;/mtext&gt;&lt;msub&gt;&lt;mi&gt;&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mn&gt;biotite&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;/msub&gt;&lt;/math&gt;"&gt;&lt;span class="MJX_Assistive_MathML"&gt;Kd=MnhornblendeMnbiotite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;) indicate that an equilibrium distribution of Mn is closely approached, though not completely attained, in most samples from plutonic environments. Comparison of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;K&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;i&gt;d&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;values of mineral pairs with bulk chemical composition of host rocks reveals no correlation. Because initial crystallization temperatures vary with rock composition, the lack of correlation of composition with&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;K&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;i&gt;d&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;suggests that the equilibrium distribution of Mn between biotite and hornblende reflects exchange at subsolidus temperatures rather than initial crystallization temperatures. The highest&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;K&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;i&gt;d&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;values are for volcanic rocks, in which rapid quenching prevents subsolidus redistribution of Mn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For sample pairs from the Southern California and Sierra Nevada batholiths there is a positive correlation of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;K&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;i&gt;d&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;with TiO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;content of biotite. Though the evidence is not compelling,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;K&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;i&gt;d&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;may also correlate with the rate of cooling and/or the presence or absence of sphene in the rock.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
