 Basalt contains Ca-plagioclase and pseudomorphs after olivine in an altered
 groundmass. Former glass margins are observed occasionally.

 Rock is criss-crossed by white veins of chrisolite. 107-651A-56R-1, Piece 2
 contains small pebbles of garnet-bearing rock. All measured microstructures
 are related to the section plane which has been chosen perpendicular to the
 S1 dip.

 107-651A-58R-1, Piece 1 is foliated granodiorite. The remainder of the core
 is criss-crossed by white veins of chrysolite. All measured microstructures
 are related to the section plane which has been chosen perpendicular to S1 
 dip. Interval 107-651A-58R-4, 98 to 102 cm, brackets a fault plane parallel
 to the section plane. Dip is 50 degrees, slickensides pitch is 60 degrees. 
 Interval 107-651A-58R-4, 0-15 cm brackets a fault plane dipping 65 degrees,
 slickensides pitch is 70 degrees.
