| sample_remark | Foden et al. (1999): The Rathjen Gneiss is a coarse- to medium-grained orthogneiss of granitic to granodioritic composition with I-type mineralogy and chemistry. It is composed of quartz, partly zoned plagioclase (An25-45) and mildly perthitic microcline. The main ferromagnesian mineral is biotite, but hornblende is also common. Minor or accessory phases include apatite, zircon, titanite, magnetite and rare allanite. In outcrop it forms a sheet-like structure in the core of a regional NNW-trending anticline, exposed in elevated country to the south of Springton. The main body of the Rathjen Gneiss forms a narrow canoe-shaped body, up to 3 km wide and 12 km long, between Springton and the Tungkillo-Palmer road. |
