sample_remark Granodiorite porphyry from ''Middle Creek'' locality at Paupong Prospect, ALT resources. The sample is a strongly porphyritic (seriate and crowded, > 60% phenocrysts) granodiorite comprising quartz-feldspar-biotite-?amphibole (to 5 mm) phenocrysts in a quartzofeldspathic groundmass (0.01-0.5 mm). Biotite and presumed amphibole are completely chloritised. Primary biotite is distinguished from primary amphibole by shape, relict cleavages with trails of secondary Ti-minerals and Prussian blue extinction colours on secondary chlorite, whereas amphibole has been replaced by a uniformly olive-green secondary (?chlorite) phase. Feldspar minerals are completely replaced by mica, chlorite and possible carbonate. Trace relict albite remains. Secondary Fe oxide/hydroxide minerals coat grain boundaries of the phenocrysts and groundmass minerals giving the sample an orangey-brown discolouration.
