Anchizone is poorly defined, with many “diagenetic” 10 A peak widths. The imperfect correlation with the Ca-Al-silicate assemblages is due to errors in the crystallinity method (e.g., anchizonal values within the “epizone” are in part due to presence of biotite). The results are complementary to those of Sagon (1970).] Cortesogno, L. and Venturelli, G., 1978.
