Sample 81MW0010 is a granite with a composition of
K-feldspar (40%), plagioclase (25%), quartz (25%), chlorite (2%), oxides
(1%), and trace muscovite, sphene, and epidote. Perthitic K-feldspar
porphyries are intergrown with plagioclase and are in some places rimmed
by quartz. Plagioclase occurs as smaller porphyries and matrix grains,
showing albite twinning and seritization. Quartz exhibits serrated
grains, undulose extinction, subgrain development, and minor
recrystallization. Chlorite rims oxides and sphene grains, and probably
replaced all biotite. Chlorite and elongate plagioclase grains define a
foliation. |
