Figure F3. Typical occurrence of anhedral, irregularly shaped olivine (Ol) and subhedral tabular plagioclase (Pl) in clinopyroxene oikocryst-bearing troctolite (Thin Section 6; Sample 345-U1415G-1R-1, 10–16 cm [Piece 3]). Note the well-developed magmatic foliation caused by parallel alignment of plagioclase and olivine, as well as 120° triple junctions between plagioclase grains (yellow arrows in B), implying well-equilibrated textures. A. Plane-polarized light. B. Under crossed polars.
