Figure F69. Digital photomicrograph of Sample 179-1105A-29R-1, 102-106 cm, showing an oxide-rich mylonitic domain with relatively strain-free small clinopyroxene porphyroclasts surrounded by fine-grained opaque oxide minerals and minor plagioclase neoblasts. Note two generations of fractures. One is truncated at the oxide-rich zone, and one crosscuts the boundary between the coarser porphyroclastic domain and the oxide-rich mylonite domain (cross-polarized light; field of view = 5.5 mm).
