Non-birefringent. Occurs in two vesicles at/near edge of the slide near a large glomerocryst. Browner band overgrown by pale green band. Thickness ).05 mm. 2) Simple yellow clay shows parallel and radiating growth structures. Thickness 0.01-0.08 mm, variable between vesicles. Some small vesicles are filled. 3) Celadonite/iron hydroxide linings. Shown by one large vesicle and one small one adjacent to a large glomerocryst. Sequence is (a) discontinous thin lining of dark red to opaque "iron hydroxide" with some bulbous protrusions; (b) normal parallel to radiating yellow celadonite;(Continued in main comments) Clays Clays Clays Clays Clays < 2 Mesostasis, plumose cpx Leading edge of dark halo shows alteration of mesostasis to olive-green clay (probably corresponds to thin dark line seen on dry sawn surfaces). Clay is non-birefringent, 2 mm from edge of halo, clay changes gradationally from olive-green through yellow-green to orange-yellow, birefringent clay over a distance of about 2 mm. (N.B., distances not perpendicular to halo boundary.) 3 mm further in, patches of monomineralic clay 0-2 mm across, replaces both mesostasis and plumose cpx. This sequence holds good for the half of the slide opposite the large plag glomerocryst. In the other half, alteration is generally of the live-green clay type, interupted by a crack, along which intense orange-yellow clay + darker brown to opaque Fe hydroxide alteration replaces mesostasis, cpx, and in the center of the zone, plag and parts of ol. This alteration passes out via yellow clay into olive-green clay replacing mesostasis only. Yellow clay infills fractures in the large plag glomerocryst.

Normally zoned rim with intricate intergrowth with groundmass sized cpx, ol, and mesostasis. 2) Similar to (1), but lacking distinct zonation. 3) Composite crystal: rounded, almost unzoned plag and small anhedral olivine enclosed in unzoned core. Ol inclusion acts as a nucleus for one of several aggregates of quenched-looking ol(?) growths. 4) Elongate, weakly zoned, with abundant cpx, magnetite, and mesostasis inclusions oriented parallel to length. 5) Elongate, zoned glomerocrysts with few inclusions.

Vesicles < 0.5 < 0.2 Clay linings Round Alteration minerals, from edge of halo inward toward site of fracture: 1) Small amounts of olive-green, low-birefringent clay. Partially replaces mesostasis, with an associated more general brown discoloration of the mesostasis. 2) A variety of yellow to orange birefringent clays. Commonly forms fringes on scarce vesicles, replacing mesostasis. Also fills microfractures. Associated red-orange, non-birefringent "Fe hydroxide" +/- birefringent clay forms globular masses up to 0.2 mm (gives gray reflective polished surface) and irregulart replacements of mesostasis. 3) A zone at least 2-3 mm wide along the edge of the section nearest the fracture has relatively little distinctive alteration material (very sparse, mainly Fe hydroxide). Reflected light shows that the mesostasis is in fact pervasively altered to a soft (hydrated) material. Interesting groundmass textures: 1) Elongate ol in optical continuity extended for up to 3 mm parallel to the c-axis, forming sub-poikilitic relationship to plag. Locally overgrown by intergranular cpx in near optical continuity with ol. Similar elongated ol extends in continuity from the 1 mm equant ol phenocryst, with rods of the same crystal extending 0.1 mm into enclosing cpx and plag (cpx is not in optical relation to ol). Some ol ,oikocrysts partially enclose and interpenetrate a plag lath orientated parallel to the c-axis of ol. More equant, sub-poikilitic to intergranular ol is common in the vicinity of the 1-mm sized ol phenocryst. 2) "bow-tie" structures: rare occurance defined by intersecting plag laths and by a gap in plag enclosed in ol oikocryst. 3) Rare hollow subhedral olivine crystals enclosing plag and mesostasis.
