Figure F45. Details of intrusive contacts (under crossed polars). A–C. Thin Section 96 (Sample 345-U1415P-3R-1, 31–34 cm [Piece 7]); reference images in Figures F44A and F44D. (A) Plagioclase and olivine crystals defining the moderate magmatic foliation of olivine gabbro. (B) Amoeboid clinopyroxene oikocryst locally showing subgrain development in olivine gabbro. (C) Clinopyroxene crystal hosting an elongate and deformed plagioclase crystal in olivine gabbro. D. Isotropic fabric in olivine gabbro (Thin Section 140; Sample 345-U1415P-22R-2, 110–112 cm [Piece 8]); reference images in Figures F44C and F44F. E. Plagioclase crystals in the orthopyroxene-bearing olivine gabbro paralleling the contact with troctolite shown in Figures F44B and F44E. F. Plagioclase crystals defining the foliation in orthopyroxene-bearing olivine gabbro (Thin Section 130; Sample 345-U1415P-18R-1, 78–80 cm [Piece 7]) shown in Figures F44B and F44E.
