Figure F22. A. Clinopyroxene oikocryst-bearing troctolite (Sample 345-U1415J-8R-3, 23–29 cm [Piece 5]). B, C. Clinopyroxene oikocryst-bearing troctolite (Thin Section 53; Sample 345-U1415J-8R-3, 23–29 cm [Piece 5]) showing the strongly foliated troctolite with a single large clinopyroxene oikocryst with abundant randomly orientated subhedral to resorbed deformed to undeformed plagioclase chadacrysts. Ol = olivine, Cpx = clinopyroxene, Pl = plagioclase. B is under plane-polarized light; C is under crossed polars.
