pyrolite

What problem does it solve?

Geochemistry data analysis and visualization for igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. It provides a unified approach to convert oxide major elements into normalized REE patterns, construct ternary diagrams, apply log-ratio transforms, compute CIPW norms, and create classification plots like TAS and Pearce diagrams, all within Python workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Ternary diagrams from oxide compositions for budget interpretations.
• REE normalization and spider diagrams for geochemical diagnostics.
• TAS and other discrimination diagrams for tectonic interpretation.
• Log-ratio transforms (CLR/ALR/ILR) and CIPW normative calculations for advanced statistics.
• Harker variation diagrams and basic data-visualization pipelines in pandas.

Quick Start

Load a geochemical dataset and generate REE pattern, spider diagram, and TAS classification plots.
