Figure F98. A. Olivine-bearing microgabbronorite (Sample 305-U1309D-133R-2, 50–53 cm) (cross-polarized light). Anhedral orthopyroxene oikocryst encloses rounded plagioclase chadacrysts. Two plagioclase grains also enclose rounded clinopyroxene microphenocrysts. B. Oxide gabbronoritic mylonite (Sample 305-U1309D-137R-2, 133–135 cm) (cross-polarized light). Subidiomorphic clinopyroxenes enclosed in orthopyroxene oikocryst. C. Olivine-orthopyroxene-bearing gabbro (Sample 305-U1309D-188R-1, 6–9 cm) (cross-polarized light). Olivine chadacrysts in optical continuity enclosed in a large amoeboidal orthopyroxene oikocryst.
