It has been experimentally shown that jotunite magma can be recognised as parental to anorthosites and related rocks: since then, research on these rocks has taken on a particular importance. Jotunites were recently described within the deeply buried c. 1.5 Ga Suwałki and Sejny anorthosite massifs in the crystalline basement of NE Poland. The major and trace element compositions of Polish jotunites show them to have a calc-alkalic to alkali-calcic and ferroan character, with a relatively wide range of SiO2 content (40.56 wt. % up to 47.46 wt. %) and high concentrations of Fe (up to 22.63 wt. % Fe2O3), Ti (up to 4.34 wt. % TiO2) and P (up to 1.46 wt. % P2O5). Slight differences in textural features, mineralogical compositions, and geochemistry of whole-rock jotunite samples from distinct massifs allow us to distinguish two kinds: a primitive one, present in the Sejny Intrusion, and a more evolved one, related to the Suwałki Massif.}, type={Article}, title={Comparative geochemical assessment of jotunite rocks from the Suwałki Massif and the Sejny Intrusion (NE Poland)}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/110343/PDF/2_Grabarczyk.pdf}, doi={10.24425/agp.2019.126441}, keywords={Jotunites, Polish massif-type anorthosites, Parental magma, Primitive and evolved jotunites}, }
