Hand Sample: Aphanitic medium gray vesicular basalt with scattered olivine crystals. Olivine crystals are scattered throughout the sample and are either growing in clusters or as single crystals. Olivine crystals range in size from 0.05cm to 0.5cm in…
KBR-3 through KBR-6 are a second gabbro mass, distinguished from the first by a repetition of the differentiation cycle. Between the location this sample was collected and the location KBR-7 was collected there is a thin gabbro pegmatite that was…
KBR-3 through KBR-6 are a second gabbro mass, distinguished from the first by a repetition of the differentiation cycle. The gabbro is medium grained and holocrystalline with a hypidiomorphic-granular texture. There are gray and black crystals, both…

Hand Sample: Aphanitic medium gray vesicular basalt with scattered olivine crystals. Olivine crystals are commonly growing either in clusters or as one single crystal. Vesicles are found throughout sample and range in diameter from 0.05cm to 2cm.
Hand Sample: Aphanitic vesicular dark gray-black basalt with larger light crystals throughout the sample. The vesicles throughout the sample are elongate in shape, and range in size from 0.5 cm to 2.5 cm. Sample surface displays rough AA texture.
This medium grained facies is one of a number of anorthositic sheets that intrude throughout the stratigraphic section of the southern Adirondacks. A chemical analyses of specimens from this outcrop yield results that are almost identical with…
