GRANITE

A biotite granite, sample 69MW1518 has a composition of plagioclase (35%), K-feldspar (30%), quartz (20%), biotite (10%), sericite (3%), sphene (1%), and trace hornblende, muscovite, chlorite, oxides, and epidote. Seritized plagioclase porphyries (up to 7 mm), show albite twinning. K-feldspar porphyries exhibit undulose extinction, minor perthite, carlsbad and tartan twinning, and plagioclase inclusions. Quartz occurs as recrystallized grains with 120º grain boundaries in mm-thick equigranular domains. Biotite occurs in clusters with no preferred orientation, and is in some places replaced by chlorite. Hornblende is deep brown and rimmed by epidote, plagioclase and biotite. Sphene occurs as subhedral, rhomb-shaped grains that are visible in hand sample. No fabric is recognized in this granite.
