Figure F62. Vertical veins of chlorite and amphibole crosscut by near horizontal smectite veins in Sample 176-735B-205R-2 (Piece 1, 48-68 cm). The rock is significantly altered along the chlorite + actinolite veins. Olivine is almost completely replaced by chlorite/smectite in the center and talc, amphibole, and oxides in the outer parts. Clinopyroxene and plagioclase are slightly altered in the halo. Some of the vertical chlorite + amphibole veins were reopened and filled with smectite.
