Norm (geology)
Normative mineralogy is a calculation of the composition of a rock sample that estimates the ''idealised mineralogy'' of a rock based on a quantitative chemical analysis according to the principles of geochemistry. Normative mineral calculations can be achieved via either the CIPW Norm or the Barth-Niggli Norm (also known as the Cation Norm). Normative calculations are used to produce an idealised mineralogy of a crystallized melt. First, a rock is chemically analysed to determine the elemental constituents. Results of the chemical analysis traditionally are expressed as oxides (e.g., weight percent Mg is expressed as weight percent MgO). The normative mineralogy of the rock then is calculated, based upon assumptions about the order of mineral formation and known phase relationships of rocks and minerals, and using simplified mineral formulas. The calculated mineralogy can be used to assess concepts such as silica saturation of melts. Because the normative calculation is essent ...

It was the immediate successor to The Frantics' ''Frantic Times'' radio show, whose slot they took over in January 1986, and tried to capitalize on its often surreal and zany style with its own cast of characters placed in odd situations. Its regular cast consisted of Peter McCowatt, Megan Smith, Brian Moffatt and Eva Almos. It was wholly recorded in the studio for its first season, and moved to live stage recordings for its second. Re-occurring characters including Sammy Silverfish (a bug who got squished at the end of every segment), Galley George ("one sensitive man against the scourge of history's philistines, armed only with a bounteous knowledge of fine cuisine"), and the always obtuse "Norm Theatre" segments. ''The Norm'' had higher ratings than its predecessor in its time slot, but was cancelled anyway. The creators McCowatt and Moffatt were not officially informed but found out when they called th ...
