Figure 8. Photomicrograph of a typical flaser gabbro (Sample 149-900A-84R-4, 67-72 cm). The porphyroclastic texture is obvious. The pyroxene porphyroclasts (P) and their neoblast tails (N) delineate the foliation well. Plagioclase neoblasts constitute the light-colored layers and a late chlorite veinlet (Chl) crosscuts the banding. Scale bar = 1 mm.
