Comment on “Geochemistry and petrogenesis of the Fiskenaesset anorthosite complex,southern West Greenland: Nature of the parent magma” by B. L. Weaver,J. Tarney and B. Windley

Evidence that REE have been metamorphically redistributed between plagioclase feldspar and mafic minerals, as suggested by Weaveret al. (1981) is not forthcoming from the six Fiskenaesset rocks used in the study. REE patterns of the separated feldspars and of two rocks containing small modal amounts of mafic minerals are consistent with a light REE-enriched magma during the formation of the Fiskenaesset Complex.
