Abstract
The compositional structure within an igneous body or cogenetic series depends on the number of end members that are required to account for a major part of its compositional variation. If a large part of the compositional variation can be accounted for by mixing of only a few materials (magmas or magmas and country rocks), the compositional structure is simple. Or, the compositional structure is simple if the variation can be explained by the separation of only a few mineral phases from a magma.
