Figure F26. Clinopyroxene oikocryst-bearing troctolite, Unit II. A. Sample 345-U1415J-8R-3A, 79–91 cm (Piece 9); Interval 49. B. Sketch of core section. Note the tails of clinopyroxene oikocrysts. C. Thin section image (length of section = 3.2 cm) (Thin Section 55; Sample 345-U1415J-8R-3, 83–86 cm [Piece 9]; under crossed polars). Note that interstitial clinopyroxene crystals (red arrows) share the same extinction angles with a large clinopyroxene oikocryst.
