Plagioclase phenocryst with resorption zone and overgrowth.
Clinopyroxene and p[lagioclase (with resorption zones) phenocrysts set in
an intergranular groundmass.
Clinopyroxene and plagioclase (optically zoned) phenocrysts set in an intergranular
groundamss.
Plagioclase phenocrysts with resoprtion zones
and optically zoned overgrowths. XP
Quartz and optically zoned phenocrysts. XP
Resorbed biotite phenocryst (relict biotite is present).
Altered glass appears brown. PPL
Plagioclase and esorbed biotite phenocryst (with relicts) set
in an
intergranular groundmass. Al;tered glass is present.
Resorbed amphibole phenocryst. The shape indicates
it was originally amphibole (see the photomicrograph below this one).
Plagioclase phenocrysts exhibit at least two periods of resorption. PPL
Basal section of an amphibole phenocryst. Note the
characteristic 120˚/60˚ cleavage angle. PPL
Altered glass, bitotite, and partially resorbed
amphibole phenocrysts. PPL
