Figure F51. Typical vein morphologies. A, B. Several parallel zeolite veins cutting prehnite veins in gabbro (Thin Section 34; Sample 345-U1415J-4R-1, 2–5 cm [Piece 1]). C, D. Prehnite and zeolite veins on the margin of a cataclastic zone hosted in gabbro (Thin Section 35; Sample 345-U1415J-5R-1, 55–58 cm [Piece 11B]). E, F. Relationships between clinozoisite, prehnite, and chlorite veins in completely altered cataclastic gabbro (Thin Section 68; Sample 345-U1415J-14G-1, 0–4 cm [Piece 1]). G, H. Relationships between prehnite, epidote, and clinozoisite veins in cataclasite (Thin Section 81; Sample 345-U1415J-23R-1, 10–12 cm [Piece 3]). A, C, E, and G are under plane-polarized light; B, D, F, and H are under crossed polars.
