Figure F32. Filled vesicles. A. Vesicles lined with celadonite followed by fibrous saponite (upper right) and saponite followed by celadonite (upper left) (Sample 301-U1301B-7R-1 [Piece 17, 108–110 cm]); plane-polarized light (field of view [FOV] = 1.4 mm). B. Vesicle filled with a mixture of saponite and celadonite, iron oxyhydroxide, and celadonite in the center (Sample 301-U1301B-23R-3 [Piece 4, 21–24 cm]); cross-polarized light (FOV = 0.7 mm). C. Vesicles with saponite lining (upper left), celadonite followed by saponite lining (upper right), and iron oxyhydroxide fill (lower right) (Sample 301-U1301B-14R-3 [Piece 11, 90–92 cm]); plane-polarized light (FOV = 5.5 mm). D. Mesostasis and saponite-filled vesicle (Sample 301-U1301B-15R-1 [Piece 16, 143–145 cm]); plane-polarized light (FOV = 5.5 mm).
