Figure F88 (continued). E. Semi-brittle fault (shown by the arrow) in an oxide gabbro, crosscutting a plagioclase porphyroclast. Sample 176-735B-97R-1 (Piece 2C, 120-125 cm). F. Strong crystal-plastic foliation, outlined by amphibole (plane-polarized light). The pyroxenes are almost completely replaced by amphiboles in both the very fine-grained recrystallized bands (1), and the tails of the porphyroclast (2). The crystal-plastic foliation is cut by a fault that also contains amphiboles (subvertical on the photo, shown by the arrow). Sample 176-735B-92R-1 (Piece 3A, 12-15 cm).
