Figure F37. Typical alteration assemblage texture in Unit II showing serpentine (Srp) veins in olivine (Ol) and cracks in plagioclase (Pl) that tend to be subparallel with magmatic foliation in clinopyroxene oikocryst-bearing troctolite. Clay minerals are abundant near densely fractured plagioclase (Thin Section 37; Sample 345-U1415J-5R-1, 117–120 cm [Piece 17B]). A. Plane-polarized light. B. Under crossed polars.
