Figure F27. High-temperature plastic deformation foliation (Sample 305-U1309D-283R-2, 34–37 cm) (cross-polarized light; field of view = ~2 cm). Although core descriptions suggest an absence of plastic deformation except for local shear zones, microstructural observations commonly indicate a weak to moderate crystal-plastic strain overprint in samples selected to be representative of primary igneous texture.
