GRANITE

A fine-grained granite, sample 81MW0004 contains quartz (40%), plagioclase (29%), K-feldspar (29%), muscovite (1%), and trace biotite, chlorite, and oxides. Quartz occurs in elongated aggregates and shows interlocking grains, variable grain size, subgrain development, and undulose extinction. Plagioclase and K-feldspar both also occur in elongated aggregates. Plagioclase is albite twinned and seritized. K-feldspar is perthitic and embayed by quartz grains. Muscovite is not generally aligned in the foliation, and commonly occurs near oxides. Biotite, in the proximity of oxides, is partially replaced by chlorite. A foliation is defined by the preferred orientation of elongated aggregates of quartz, K-feldspar, and plagioclase, and not by micas.
