PLEASE e-mail me if you have any text errors to report.

 

Known errors (so far) in the Second Edition (see below for First Edition errors):

Don't even ask about the Front Cover vs. the Title Page. I have no idea at this point what the title of this text is! I assume the Title Page has priority (but I prefer "Principles").
 
8- Figure 1.5 is simply wrong. The correct figure can be seen in Ed. 1 and in the support PowerPoint file.
 
13- Figure 1.8: the Pressure scale is low by an order of magnitude (it should read 100 - 200 - 300 - 400 GPa). The figure is correct in Ed. 1 and in the support PowerPoint file. A mystery!
 
29- Figure 2.4: Lower left-hand box should read: Na2O - 2.0 < K2O.
 
32- Table 2.1: Alvekite should be spelled Alvikite.
 
48-LHC line 7 should read feldspars OR feldspathoids not "of"
 
50- Table 3.1 line 17 (Crystal Habits): should read equant and acicular.
 
51- Table 3.1 under Miscellaneous Terms, Felty should read Figure 3.12b not 3.13b.
 
59- RHC (right-hand column) third line from bottom" "rhyodicite" should read "rhyodacite"
 
102- RHC lines 5-6: should read "ef gets progressively smaller whereas de gets larger"
 
105- LHC line 6 should read anorthite + liquid, not diopside
 
107- RHC line 16 from bottom should read "ki /jk" not kj/jk
 
108- LHC second line from bottom should read " F = 2" not 1
 
130- LHC last paragraph 10th line should read "Figure 7.19" not 7.18
 
152- RHC (right-hand column) lines 4-5 should read: "the "tholeiitic" (Main, or subalkaline) and the "olivine-basalt" (Plateau, or alkaline)..."
 
160- RHC line 2: should end with "0.026" NOT 0.013
 
164- LHC (left-hand column) line 2: should read "more compatible" (or less incompatible, but NOT less compatible)
 
166- LHC line 4: should read "Yb or Lu"
 
167-8- The last paragraph on p.167 (extending to p.168) refers twice to Figure 10.3. It should refer to Figure 10.2.
 
170- Figure 9.8d: The lower left corner should read "Si/1000 " Not Si/100
 
172- RHC line 15 from bottom: should read "amounts of Rb..."
 
179- LHC line 18: epsilon should equal 58.6, not 5.86 (but the conclusion remains the same).
 
193- The caption to Figure 10-11 may be clearer if the first line read: "Extent of partial melting of a fertile lherzolite (initially garnet-bearing) with increasing..."
 
195- LCH thrid line: The conditions of multiple saturation with all four lherzolite phases should be approximately 0.8 GPa and 1225C (not 1250C)
 
196- LHC six lines before Section 10.5: Herzberg misspelled as Herzburg (and Azimov)
 
200- Ophiolites is misspelled in the second line of the Summary
 
217- LHC line 9 from bottom: "liquids rise" should not be repeated
 
254- RHC five lines from the bottom" ...address the destinction between N-MORB and E-MORB"
 
255- LHC fourth line of third paragraph: " ... N-MORBs (solid triangles)" AND Figure 13.13 Ordinate should be 143Nd/144Nd AND last line should read 0.5130
 
261- LHC seventh line from bottom: " ...(Figure 13.18)"
 
289- RHC line 4: should read "0.1 to 10 m"
 
332- RHC last line in Sec/ 16.3 should read: "This silica enrichment, the lack of iron enrichment, and elevated H2O..."
 
337- RHC lines 1-2: the Sr and Nd ratio values are reversed (87Sr/86Sr) should be ~ 0.715 and 143Nd/144Nd should be ~ 0.5123)
 
345 - Figure 16.19 - The label near the top center might be more clear as: "P-T-t path range of subducting crust in a mature arc"
 
385 - Table 18.3 - S-type granites have high A/(C+N+K) and are thus peraluminous, not metaluminous
 
512- Figure 23.57 has a font(?) problem. The three deltas should be epsilons (strain).
 
523- RHC Line 3 should read: (the components z and xyz)
 
528- RHC Line 3 should read MgO-SiO2, line 4 should read MgO/SiO2 and line 13 should read Fo + En.
 
544- RHC fourth line from bottom is missing the end-parenthesis after "Figure 26.19".
 
548- Figure 25.11: Jadeite (Jd) should not plot on this diagram. It is mistakenly plotted at F = 1.
 
567- Caption to Figure 26.9, line 3: should read "Chl + Qtz, Chl + Qtz + Grt, and Grt + Qtz".
 
611 and 612- Prl or Ky may be the stable apical phase in Figures 28.3 and 28.4. Note in Figure 28.2 that isograds 1 and 2 cross, so that the stable phase is quite pressure dependent.
 
638- Figure 29-4 skipped the Tr + Cal = Di + Fo reaction in Figure 29.3. Revised in PowerPoint now. This should also be addressed in the text on p.639: before reaction (29.11) Cal + Qtz = Wo + CO2.
 
676- Eq (30.14) should end in 4 SiO2
 
683- Eq (A.1) should be Sigma XiMi/Sigma XiVi
 
688 Table B.2 - There is no K2O in magnetite. Delete 0.0015 from column 5c
 
689 Table B.3 - Many columns have been shifted (in both editions) during publishing. My original spreadsheet is here:
 
690- Step 5d: No FeO is added to Fe2O3 to create magnetite. Simply use the Fe2O3 value.
 

A list of known errors in the First Edition follows (some in the 2nd ed. are also probably there too):

Errata (page number followed by error) Red entires came to me later and were still in Second Printing (of the first edition)

Table inside front cover: the speed of light is 3 x 108 m sec-1
 
vi: There is only a single appendix. Units and Constants plus Abbreviations and Acronyms are on the inside covers. The appendix, CIPW Norm, is on page 636. References begin on page 644, and Index begins on page 687.

Problem 2: Fig 6-17a should read Fig 6-17c.
I also added a third problem (see the instructor's manual).
 
109: Equation (7-5) should be Liquid + Forsterite = Enstatite + Anorthite
 
111: Figure 7-5 The temperature of the Ab-Di eutectic should be 1085oC, not 1133
 
112 RHC paragraph 2, line 15 for consistency it should read, "F = C - phi + 0 = 3 - 3 + 0" (not - 0)
 
116- LHC six lines from bottom - melting should begin at the solidus rather than at the liquidus
 
127- Figure 127 Upper field should read "Highly undersaturated..." (add "r")
 
128- RHC line 11 for TiO2, MnO, and P2O5 should read 1.0%, not 0.1%
 
Ch 8- Wrong heading for chapter title throughout
 
132 Table 8-1 has several errors (in red):

Problem 2: ...enter the wt. % data for the same basalt as in Problem 8-1.
Second paragraph: Now lower the silica value from 51 to 44%...
Problem 4: The file should be "Prob 08-4.xls"
Problem 5: "Figure 4-30" should be "Figure 4-32"

541- Figure 27-4 should also reflect these sign changes. Each labeled curve should actually be the reciprocal of the stated value/label.
 
546- Eq (27-35) should have 8.3144 for R (not 4.3144). As a result, Eq (27-36) should have 24.943 instead of 12.943.
