Description
This specimen is typical of the saturated gabbros of the Adirondacks. The plagioclases are generally in the range of An₄₀ and the orthopyroxenes average close to En₆₀. Antiperthite is locally developed. Scattered grains of ilmenite and garnet occur. These gabbros may be genetically related to the anorthosites of the region.
Thin section shows plagioclase, orthopyroxene and hornblende.
