GRANODIORITE

A granite, sample 82MW0002 contains K-feldspar (30%), plagioclase (30%), quartz (30%), chlorite (5%), sericite (2%), oxides (2%), and trace sphene and epidote. Perthitic, tartan and Carlsbad twinned K-feldspar porphyries show undulose extinction and irregular grain boundaries. Pinkish-tan plagioclase is heavily altered to epidote and sericite, and shows little twinning. Quartz grains exhibit serrated boundaries, subgrain development and undulose extinction. Large domains of chlorite/epidote/sphene are common as a "hash" of mafics/alteration products. Chlorite occurs in large (4-mm) aggregates, yet does not define a foliation. Fractures in this rock are filled with calcite and oxides.
