GRANITE

A granite, sample 27MW0105 contains plagioclase (40%), K-feldspar (36%), quartz (20%), biotite (3%), and trace muscovite, sphene, oxides, chlorite, and epidote. Plagioclase grains are equigranular and fine-grained, showing some recrystallization and myrmekite. K-feldspar occurs as tartan twinned matrix grains and as perthitic porphyries with plagioclase inclusions and overgrowths. Quartz grains show a wide size variation and occur in the matrix. Biotite is partially overgrown by chlorite, and is aligned in a weak foliation. Sphene is visible in hand sample as mm-sized rhombohedral grains.
