Assigns data for Co vs. Th (ppm) diagram into Figaro template (list 'sheet')
and appropriate values into 'x.data' and 'y.data'
Hastie()
Diagram in Co vs. Th space, proposed by Hastie et al. (2007) for subdivision of volcanic arc rocks. This is thought to be a more robust replacement for SiO2 vs. K2O plot of Peccerillo & Taylor (1976) for altered/weathered volcanic rocks. The decreasing Co concentrations are used as an index of fractionation (as a proxy for SiO2), the Th contents mimic those of K2O.
The following fields are defined:
Tholeiite Series
Calc-alkaline Series
High-K Calc-alkaline and Shoshonite Series
Rocks with composition falling beyond defined boundaries are labeled 'undefined' by the 'classify' function.
In addition, the diagram discriminates between the following rock types:
| Abbreviation | Full name |
| B | basalt |
| BA/A | basaltic andesite and andesite |
| D/R* | dacite and rhyolite* |
* latites and trachytes also fall in the D/R fields
