sample_remark quartz monzonite. Jagodzinski, 2005 (GA Record 2005/20): The sample is an equigranular, medium- to coarse-grained quartz monzonite. It contains 32.6% plagioclase, 38.7% alkali feldspar, 16.8% quartz, and 11.9% mafic minerals. Mafics comprise 3.3% amphibole, 1.9% biotite, 1.2% chlorite 3% opaques, 0.4% titanite, 0.2% zircon, 0.4% apatite and trace allanite. Plagioclase occurs as euhedral crystals up to 8 mm in size, exhibiting sericite alteration. Alkali feldspar crystals occur as larger subhedral to euhedral grains, and quartz occurs interstitially. Apatite crystals are typically large and euhedral and occur in clusters with opaque minerals. Zircons are large and have concentric growth zones. Allanite is a late-crystallising, interstitial phase and is always metamict (description and modal analysis from Creaser 1989 from a similar sample at depth 470-472 m).
