Abstract
Quartz xenoliths in the Auckland basalts are surrounded by envelopes of glass and reaction rims of pyroxene. Evidence is presented that the reaction rim may develop ultimalely to replace the quartz completely and form a pyroxene aggregate. The miscibility of the xenolithic glass with magmatic glass is discussed.Keywords
