time 1 is calculated using crystal growth rate and CSD slopes, time 2 is calculated using crystal growth rate and the maximum measured length of crystals (Lmax), crystal growth rate range for phenocrysts: 10−9-10−10 mm/s (feldspar). crystal growth rate range for microlite: 1.39×10−7 to 1.65×10−6 mm/s (feldspar).
