Figure F7. Strongly altered gabbro (interval 210-1277A-2R-1, 95–107 cm) including a transition to disaggregated, vaguely foliated gabbro (upper part). The vague foliation is defined by preferential alignment of altered and elongated plagioclase aggregates lying within a greenish, chloritic matrix. This type of deformation is not observed in the polymict clastic sediments that are present elsewhere in Unit 1, but it is very similar to that observed at the top of Unit 2. This deformed and strongly altered gabbro most likely is a fragment of the underlying basement that has been reworked and emplaced within a sedimentary matrix.
