Description: The Merensky cyclic unit of the Bushveld Complex represents the first products to crystallize after the influx and mixing of a large new batch of magma in the chamber. Excluding the Merensky pegmatoid, the Merensky cyclic unit grades upward from an orthopyroxenite at the base, through norite to anorthosite at the top of the sequence. It is followed by the very similar Bastard cyclic unit.
