PETROLOGIC DATA
Rock Number: 1
-excellent exposure of unit 90
-mottled pink-grey -white, med. grained leuco-GRDR with seriate phenocrysts from 4 mm to 8 cm and represent 15% of rock
-mega's are rectangular-->oval, augen and comprise microcline with concentric shells of plag. and BO inclusions with an overgrowth of creamy yellow plag. on the surface
-plag. overgrowth corresponds to the margins even when rolled suggesting the plag. growth was syntectonic
-presents a problem in interpretation suggesting 2 possibilities: (1) late magmatic stage occupied in a directed stress field with plag. overgrowths
-a late magmatitic feature or
(2) plag. is post-magmatic metasomatic origin
-I tend to favor the 1 st interpretation as the microclines show a preferred orientation in the fabric without excessive crushing and fracturing of the crystals
-foliation is invaded by numerous foliated pegmatites
