GRANITE

Sample 27MW2134 is a pink-orange granite composed of K-feldspar (38%), plagioclase (30%), quartz (25%), sericite (4%), muscovite (1%), and trace chlorite, oxides, and possibly zircon. Nearly equigranular K-feldspar (~0.6 mm) shows tartan twinning and some exsolution. Plagioclase, of similar grain size to K-feldspar, shows albite twins and is severely altered to sericite/muscovite. Some quartz exhibits 120º grain boundaries, suggesting recrystallization has occurred. This granite is unlike most of the other granites due to the lack of biotite. Chlorite, occurring in trace amounts, may have replaced biotite, but may also have replaced other mafics like hornblende.
