ORTHOGNEISS

A low-grade orthogneiss, sample 80MW0004 is composed of K-feldspar (35%), plagioclase (32%), quartz (20%), biotite (2%), oxides (1%), and trace muscovite. This rock appears to be unmetamorphosed in hand sample, yet thin section examination shows minor recrystallization, metamorphic textures, and grain size variation. Biotite grains define a weak foliation. Twinning is common in all feldspars. Plagioclase shows slight alteration to sericite/muscovite.
