Abstract

[NephelinitesNephelinite have been considered to be the most perplexing group of igneous rocks by Bailey (1974). Such rocks predominantly contain nephelineNepheline and augite with other accessory minerals. They are usually associated with rocks of melteigite–ijolite–urtite series in close proximity to either leucite-bearingMafic phonolite mafic lavas, or carbonatites. Sometimes, they are also observed as a highly fractionated group of rocks derived from lavas of alkali basaltAlkali basalt–phonoliteLeucite phonolite series; in such cases, sanidine becomes an important phase in addition to augite and nepheline.]
