Figure F47. Primary clinopyroxene (P-cpx) replaced by clear secondary clinopyroxene (S-cpx) with more widely spaced cleavages (Sample 304-U1309B-16R-2 [Piece 5, 26–29 cm]) (plane-polarized light; magnification = 2.5×). This texture is very similar to that described in gabbros from Atlantis Bank, Southwest Indian Ridge (Pettigrew, Casey, Miller, et al., 1999; Maeda et al., 2002).
