The Fucheng composite pluton is exposed in an area of about 850 km2 and intruded into Sinian-Cambrian strata with a distinctive thermometamorphic aureole of hornstone. Based on microscopic observation and electron microprobe analyses, the authors recognized three kinds of muscovites, namely primary, metasomatic and secondary muscovites, in the Fucheng strongly peraluminous granite pluton, and their average crystallochemical formulas are respectively. A synthetic method for the discrimination between primary and secondary muscovites based on macroscopic petrological and petrochemical characteristics as well as micro-petrographic features is suggested in this paper.
