Figure F36. A. Sharp increase of groundmass size at the magmatic contact (Sample 205-1253A-31R-2, 106-108 cm; 540.96 mbsf; cross-polarized light [XPL]). Intergrowth of plagioclase and clinopyroxene in (B) Sample 205-1253A-30R-3, 117-120 cm (538.20 mbsf; XPL), (C) Sample 205-1253A-41R-4, 92-94 cm (590.97 mbsf; plane-polarized light), and (D) Sample 205-1253A-31R-1, 50-52 cm (539 mbsf; XPL). Pl = plagioclase, Cpx =
clinopyroxene.
