95MW0207

SAMPLE_ID:  95MW0207

DATE: 8/13/1998

Sample: 95MW0207 - Tonalite

TONALITE

A coarse-grained tonalite, sample 95MW0207 contains plagioclase (57%), quartz (40%), muscovite (2%), K-feldspar (1%), and trace oxides. Seritized plagioclase shows a range of grain sizes, though grains reach 9 mm. Plagioclase is albite and carlsbad twinned and shows interlocking grain boundaries. Serrated quartz grains exhibiting undulose extinction and subgrain development commonly fill "gaps" between large plagioclase phenocrysts. Muscovite rims plagioclase and in some places replaces plagioclase along twin planes. K-feldspar, a very minor constituent of this rock, is partially altered and fills gaps between plagioclase porphyries.
