Figure F190. A. Well-developed foliated cataclasite showing apparent reverse sense displacement in the core reference frame (arrows) (Sample 305-U1309D-152R-1, 11–13 cm) (plane-polarized light, field of view [FOV] = 2 cm). B. Same as A; cross-polarized light. Yellow box = location of C and D. C. Ultracataclasite (plane-polarized light; FOV = 5.5 mm). A relatively large plagioclase grain at top right corner shows intense microfractures with undulatory extinction. D. Same as C; cross-polarized light. Very fine grained fragments of plagioclase + ? are present in the chlorite matrix. E. Fractured clinopyroxene and plagioclase grains in carbonate matrix within fault breccia/cataclasite in the fault zone (Sample 305-U1309D-161R-1, 84–87 cm) (plane-polarized light; FOV = 5.5 mm). F. Same as D; cross-polarized light.
