Figure F15. Grain mount of cuttings from drilling-induced disaggregated gabbro (Thin Section 17; Sample 345-U1415I-3R-3, 72–77 cm; under crossed polars). A. Whole thin section image. B. Cataclasite and a clast of prehnite (Preh), probably replacing plagioclase (Pl) in cataclasite. C. Development of a corona texture in olivine (Ol) adjacent to relatively fresh plagioclase. Amph = amphibole, Chl = chlorite, Tc = talc.
