Phase equilibria in the join CaMgSi2O6-CaFe3+AlSiO6-CaTiAl2O6 have been determined in air at 1 atm by the ordinary quenching method. At subsolidus temperatures the single phase field of clinopyroxene extends up to 19 wt. %. Even in the field of clinopyroxene + perovskite, the TiO2 content in clinopyroxene continues to increase and attains 9.2 wt. % TiO2 with 24.8 wt. % Al2O3. An interesting fact is that unusual clinopyroxenes which contain more A1IV than Silv are present in the CaFeAlSi06-rich region. At subliquidus temperatures the liquid is richer in Ti, Al, and Fe3+ than the coexisting pyroxene. The clinopyroxenes coexisting with liquid contain less TiO2, A1203 and Fe203 than those crystallized at subsolidus temperatures. The system CaMgSi2O6-CaFe3+AlSiO6-CaTiAl206 is relevant in evaluating the crystallization trend of clinopyroxenes in udersaturated alkalic rocks.
