quartz : Anhedral ameboid quartz (4.1 mm avg) with undulose extinction and abundant 2-phase fluid inclusions (up
to 0.01 mm) (Plate 2).
chlorite : Partial pseudomorphic chlorite (1.5 mm avg) after amphibole (hornblende?). Titanite, albite, magnetite
and epidote inclusions along basal cleavage.
clinozoisite : Small (<0.1 mm) subhedral to anhedral inclusions within plagioclase and chlorite.
Summary
Primary : The primary crystallization sequence was plagioclase, titanite (?), hornblende, quartz, orthoclase.
Plagioclase glomerocrysts were likely formed during magmatic differentiation.
Secondary : Moderately altered plagioclase and potassium feldspar with up to 30% partial replacement to epidotewhite mica (sericite)-hematite. Quartz shows evidence of extensive recrystallization and fluid infiltration by the
undulose extinction and with numerous secondary fluid inclusions (up to 20%)(Plate 2).
Structure : Moderate fracture/veining is present with thin section at a frequency of 1.65 veins per cm with an
average vein aperture of 2.1 mm. One third of thin section has been extensive altered during brittle deformation
(Plate 2).
