Figure F238. Recrystallization textures in metabasalt from Unit 1256D-90 close to its contact with gabbro of Unit 1256D-91 A. 30 mm from contact, clinopyroxene (cpx) and orthopyroxene (opx) are in equal proportions (Thin Section 106; Sample 312-1256D-230R-1, 15–18 cm) (field of view [FOV] = 2.4 mm; cross-polarized light). B. 5 mm from contact, orthopyroxene is the only pyroxene present (Thin Section 106; Sample 312-1256D-230R-1, 15–18 cm) (FOV = 2.4 mm; cross-polarized light).
