Figure F17. A. Close-up core image of clinopyroxene oikocryst-bearing troctolite (Sample 345-U1415J-8R-3 [Piece 5, 23–29 cm]). B, C. Thin section photomicrographs of clinopyroxene oikocryst-bearing troctolite (Thin Section 53; Sample 345-U1415J-8R-3 [Piece 5, 23–29 cm]) showing the strongly foliated troctolite with a single large clinopyroxene oikocryst with abundant randomly orientated subhedral to resorbed deformed to undeformed plagioclase chadacrysts. Ol = olivine, Cpx = clinopyroxene, Pl = plagioclase. B is under plane-polarized light, and C is under cross-polarized light.
