Figure F114. Prominent “vugs” filled with tremolite-actinolite surrounded by a pale zone rich in plagioclase (interval 304-U1309B-14R-1, 51–95 cm). At point A, the pale zone consists of coarse-grained calcic plagioclase with interstitial green amphibole and cuts a high-temperature ductile shear zone. At the bottom of the pale zone (point B; 89–91 cm), an actinolite-rich area containing relict clinopyroxene is surrounded by highly altered plagioclase with many inclusions; it is not clear where the character of the pale zone changes.
