Frost & Frost (2008)

The document is a graph showing the total FeO/(MgO + FeO total) wt.% ratio on the y-axis and SiO2 wt.% on the x-axis of igneous rocks. The graph divides the rocks into ferroan and magnesian groups based on their composition. The caption cites the Frost and Frost 2008 paper that proposed a geochemical classification scheme for feldspathic igneous rocks, and provides a link to the paper's abstract.
