Figure F8.
Chemical map showing relative abundances of (A) Ca, (B)
Si, (C) Al, and (D) Mg in a strongly zoned
felsic vein with a myrmekitic texture (Sample 176-735B-124R-1, 111-115 cm). The
vein margins are marked by sharp changes in Al and are delineated by solid black
lines. Very narrow bands of amphibole are present along the vein margins
followed inward by zones of sodic plagioclase about 2 mm wide (green bands in
[C]). The myrmekitic intergrowths of quartz and plagioclase (Myr) form parallel
bands clearly illustrated in (B). The center of the vein is consists chiefly of
greenish brown amphibole (Am) separated from the myrmekite by bands of pure
plagioclase. Scale bars = 5 mm.
