This work was undertaken as a preliminary study of variations in composition of coexisting biotite and muscovite in rocks of metamorphic and plutonic origins. By comparing rocks of two different metamorphic grades, i.e. rocks of the greenschist and amphibolite facies, any observed differences in the distributions of elements between coexisting micas might be related to the pressure temperature conditions at the time of formation. Biotite and muscovite pairs from a granite pegmatite, two granites, and a quartz monzonite were included for comparison in the study. [...]
