Abstract
SUMMARY: The complex can be divided into three units, here named the Lower, Middle and Upper Layered Series respectively, on the basis of petrochemical data and correction of the dips of the layering for the effects of post-consolidational flexuring. There are no chilled margins, and the contact with the country rock consists of granular basic and ultrabasic rocks, older than the cumulates of the layered series. The intrusive mechanism is considered in the light of field and chemical data.Keywords
