Inverted pigeonite is often enclosed by clinopyroxene (augite) and contains her ring bone-likeaugitelamellae.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In weakly deformed gneiss, the mafic minerals (biotite,augiteand hornblende) occur as irregular clusters, locally separated from plagioclase by coronas of garnet.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Compared to olivine,augitehas a greater degree of chemical zoning within individual grains and samples.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The finegrained matrix is composed of plagioclase, quartz, garnet, biotite and hornblende and/oraugite.
From theCambridge English Corpus
All pyroxenes in the tuffs are augites and there is very little chemical variation between the pyroxenes of different samples.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Anhedral plagioclase is interstitial toaugiteand olivine, and subhedral, reddish-brown phlogopite is interstitial to plagioclase and pyroxene.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Other minerals recognized were calcite, dolomite,augite, enstatite, hypersthene, spinel and scapolite.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The pluton is lithologically diverse, but is mainly composed of hypersthene-augitegabbros with minor pyroxenite, anorthosite, tonalite, granodiorite and granite.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The rock is composed of 20-50 % plagioclase, 30-50 %augite, 1-30 % olivine, 7-30 % magnetite-ilmenite, with trace intercumulus sulphide and brown amphibole.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Intrastratal solution and replacement have variably affected detrital hornblende and sometimesaugite.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Phenocrysts of plagioclase, hornblende and clinopyroxene are embedded in a very fine-grained groundmass of plagioclase laths, fine hornblende prisms, and some biotite andaugitecrystals.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Augiteis partially epidotized and olivine grains are partially altered to iddingsite-bowlerite.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Clinopyroxene is colourless, granular to sub-ophitic grains ofaugite.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Plagioclase is light,augitegray, and magnetite black.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Orthopyroxene occurs as armoured relics within coronas ofaugiteand garnet.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Pigeonite crystallizes in the monoclinic system, as doesaugite, and a miscibility gap exists between the two minerals.
