Figure F26. Thin section photomicrographs of basalt, Site U1373. A. Aphyric basalt in ~23 m thick massive flow of Unit VII (Sample 330-U1373A-11R-2, 96–98 cm; Thin Section 104) (with crossed polars). B. Highly olivine-titanaugite-plagioclase-phyric basalt from a Type 7 clast in conglomerate forming Subunit IB (Sample 330-U1373A-1R-2, 123–125 cm; Thin Section 76) (with crossed polars). C. Strained olivine crystal (Sample 330-U1373A-1R-2, 123–125 cm; Thin Section 76) (with crossed polars). D. Ti-augite phenocryst in highly olivine-augite phyric basalt recovered from the middle of Unit II (Sample 330-U1373A-7R-1, 84–86 cm; Thin Section 89) (with crossed polars).
