Field observations and microscopic textures let Cornelius to conclude "... the only possibility is, that epidote is a primary mineral in our tonalite, crystallizing early from the magma, i.e., before (in part also contemporaneous with) biotite" (translated from German, Cornelius (1915), p. 170). This knowledge disappeared and for the following 70 years, epidote and zoisite were categorized as metamorphic minerals. The petrologic significance of magmatic epidote was then rediscovered when Zen and Hammarstrom (1984) identified epidote as an important magmatic constituent...
