Figure F153. A. Magmatic foliation overprinted by incipient plastic deformation in olivine gabbro (interval 305-U1309D-110R-3, 40–52 cm). Yellow box = location of B and C. B. Magmatic foliation with aligned plagioclase overprinted by incipient plastic deformation (Sample 305-U1309D-110R-3, 46–49 cm) (plane-polarized light; field of view [FOV] = 2 cm). C. Same as B; cross-polarized light, FOV = 2 cm. Yellow box = location of D. D. Aligned plagioclase crystals showing well-defined deformation lamellae indicating slight crystal-plastic overprint (cross-polarized light; FOV = 11 mm). (Continued on next page.)
