| 1. | The main minerals are quartz, perthitic orthoclase, and plagioclase.
|
| 2. | A greater amount of plagioclase would designate the rock as tonalite.
|
| 3. | At greater depth plagioclase is unstable and is replaced by spinel.
|
| 4. | Myrmekite is a globular or bulbous symplectite of quartz in plagioclase.
|
| 5. | Microprobe analysis showed that the plagioclase was very calcium-rich.
|
| 6. | Phenocrysts in the postglacial rocks are biotite, plagioclase and quartz.
|
| 7. | In the example of plagioclase, there are three cases of substitution.
|
| 8. | It can be found in igneous rocks containing potassium feldspar and plagioclase.
|
| 9. | The mineral assemblage is typically dominated by plagioclase plus pyroxene or hornblende.
|
| 10. | It is black with phenocrysts of plagioclase in a medium grained lamination.
