SAMPLE INFO : specimen 4
Sample ID:specimen 4
Station ID:specimen 4
Latitude:51.6417
Longitude:-176.8203
Datum:NAD83
Date Sampled:1952-01-01
Sample Type 1:Lava
Sample Type 2:Sill
 Text Description:
Analyzed specimen no. 4 is coarse-grained gabbro from a sill (?) 500 yards south of the head of Chapel Cove, Bay of Waterfalls. It is a bytownite-labradorite olivine gabbro with abundant magnetite. Small chips of the rock can be picked up with a pocket magnet. Dark minerals occur in single crystals or as clusters as great as 1 cm in diameter, but usually less than 5 mm. These dark constituents are set in a finer (less than 3 mm) matrix of feldspar laths. Feldspars are subhedral and the clinopyroxene generally anhedral. An estimated mode gives the following volume percents : zoned bytownite-labradorite, 65 percent; clinopyroxene, 15 percent; magnetite, 7 percent; olivine pseudomorphs (antigorite?), 8 percent; interstitial and pseudomorphic penninite and carbonate, 5 percent.
