Abstract

Ninety unaltered granites from S.W. England show log-normal distributions for both Cl and F with mean Cl, 507 ppm and mean F 1395 ppm. Greisening increases F but kaolinisation and reddening reduce F. All these effects cause large decreases in Cl and altered granites form a separate log-normal population in this element.
