Figure F9. Photomicrographs illustrating the petrography, mineralogy, and textures of Fe-Ti oxide-bearing gabbros from Hole 1105A. Scale bar = 0.5 mm, except as noted. A. Interstitial ilmenite in orthopyroxene apatite Fe-Ti oxide gabbro (Sample 179-1105A-7R-3, 33-36 cm). B. Granular intergrowth of dominantly ilmenite and titanomagnetite (Sample 179-1105A-5R-1, 115-118 cm). Scale bar = 15 mm. C. Orthopyroxene intergrown with Fe-Ti oxide minerals in orthopyroxene Fe-Ti oxide gabbro (Sample 179-1105A-22R-2, 74-78 cm). D. Apatite in ilmenite and secondary amphibole in apatite Fe-Ti oxide gabbro (Sample 179-1105A-4R-4, 57-62 cm). Photomicrographs are by the Shipboard Scientific Party (1999).
