Figure F49. Digital photomicrograph of clinopyroxene with uncommon {001} exsolution lamella and twin-plane parallel to the c-axis in medium oxide gabbro (Sample 179-1105A-10R-2, 85-88 cm). The twin plane is located close to the opaque phase on the upper right of view and runs from the upper left to lower right. Most clinopyroxenes in Hole 1105A samples show exsolution along {100}. Cross-polarized light; field of view = 5.5 mm.
