Au début du siècle l'école américaine a proposé une classification [des roches éruptives] fondée sur l'analyse chimique et le calcul de certains paramètres. On l'a appelée méthode C.I.P.W. du nom de ses auteurs : Cross, Iddings, Pirsson et Washington. Le fondement de cette méthode consiste, à partir de l'analyse globale exprimée en oxydes [...] à déterminer les combinaisons plausibles entre les éléments pour obtenir des minéraux étalons, en tenant compte bien entendu des affinités chimiques et des incompatibilités. 1, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20C%2EI%2EP%2EW%2E
