ORTHOGNEISS

Sample 82MW0008, an orthogneiss, is composed of the minerals K-feldspar (35%), plagioclase (32%), quartz (25%), biotite (3%), epidote (2%), chlorite (2%), and trace sphene and oxides. This foliated rock is characterized by porphyroclasts of K-feldspar (up to 8 mm) wrapped by biotite, chlorite, and quartz aggregates. Plagioclase occurs mainly as recrystallized matrix grains, though some severely altered porphyroclasts are present. Shearing is evidenced by quartz subgrains and undulose extinction, as well as by mica texture. Chlorite partially replaces biotite.
