   PREAMBLE
 
Klötzli et al. (2001) present a genetic model for a particular granitic rock unit within the Variscan (Carboniferous) South Bohemian Batholith. We studied and published on these same rocks some years previously (Finger & Clemens, 1995). The interpretations of Klötzli et al. (2001) contrast so significantly with our own that we consider it necessary to comment briefly on their paper.

The rock unit in question is the so-called Sarleinsbach quartz monzodiorite (SQMD), first described by Frasl & Finger (1988). This unit is an opx-bearing facies of the Weinsberg granite—a very coarse-grained biotite granite and the most prominent rock type in the batholith. As with all granitic units assigned to the Weinsberg type, the SQMD contains large K-feldspar phenocrysts. On . . . [Full Text of this Article]
