Figure F16. Core images and thin section photomicrographs of mineral textures in the Layered Series, Site U1415. A. Clinopyroxene oikocryst-bearing troctolite (Sample 345-U1415J-8R-3 [Piece 4b, 79–91 cm]). Box in the core image shows location of the thin section photomicrograph to the right. B. Close-up of skeletal olivine (arrow) in a coarse-grained, multitextured orthopyroxene-bearing olivine gabbro (Sample 345-U1415P-10R-1 [Piece 7, 56–69 cm]). Thin section photomicrograph of skeletal olivine in medium-grained troctolite (Sample 345-U1415J-10R-1 [Piece 6b, 53–55 cm]).
