This rock contains a great variety of mineral grains that are
obvious in the back-scattered image. The larger grains are of basic minerals – plagioclase
feldspar, orthopyroxene, and amphibole. These and pieces of pre-existing volcanic
rock. are set in a groundmass of broadly granitic composition (a fine-grained
intergrowth of silica and two feldspars with apatite and zircon). |
