![]() A large K-feldspar porphyroclast in a mylonite of syenitic composition (no quartz; 95MW0212) shows evidence of movement on a fine fracture. Note the growth of finer grains of plagioclase and microcrystalline muscovite in the “shadows” of the faulted porphyroclast. K-feldspar has been stained green, and Na-rich string perthite appears gray. Click here for a zip file with full resolution image. kfs:
