BASALT

Sample 80MW0003 is an olivine phyric basalt containing plagioclase (60%), clinopyroxene (20%), chlorite (15%), and oxides (5%). Extreme chloritization has taken place in this rock, completely replacing olivine. Chloritization of calcite veins suggests that vein development occurred before some, if not all alteration. Relict laths of plagioclase are visible, yet plagioclase itself is turgid beyond recognition. Subhedral fine-grained oxides are present throughout. Chlorite percentage estimate may be low, as an unrecognizable amount of chlorite also occurs in the matrix, replacing other minerals.
