The specimen was collected from the Oregon Dome Massif. The Oregon Dome is similar in all respects to the anorthosites described and analyzed by Buddington (1939) for the Adirondack High Peaks region (Marcy Massif). Texturally, the present specimens…
Antigorite, magnetite, carbonates (ankerite), diopside, clinohumite, tremolite, chlorite. Rarely, pseudomorphs on primary pyroxenes may be recognized, though there is superimposition of various deformational phases.
From the Concord Granite. Thin section contains plagioclase, potassium feldspar, quartz, biotite, and muscovite. Hand sample is finer grained and contains feldspars, quartz, and micas.
Minerals found in the calcsilicate facies contain quartz, diopside, enstatitic pyroxene, tremolite, calcite, and phlogopite. However, only a few thin sections have been found to contain all phases. In some specimens, the pyroxene is close to 100%…
