Summary: A small isolated outcrop in a large area of charnockites in the Mawson area, MacRobertson Land, Antarctica, consists of enstatite-sapphirine-cordierite rocks. Other highly magnesian outcrops occur in the district and these rocks may be completely recrystallized xenoliths. Analyses of the country rock, the two sapphirine-bearing rocks, and the sapphirine are given; the country rock is very rich in iron and has a high FeO : MgO ratio, while the sapphirine-bearing rocks are very low in iron and high in MgO, approximating to ternary mixtures of MgO, Al₂O₃, and SiO₂.
