Figure F278. Sketches showing progressive (A) partial, (B) strong, and (C) complete recrystallization of the lower sheeted dikes to a granoblastic texture. Many samples, even those that are only partially recrystallized, can include small (1–10 mm) patches that are completely recrystallized to (D) the equigranular granoblastic texture. Yellow-green = secondary clinopyroxene, grey = magnetite, white = plagioclase.
