Fig. 8 — Photomicrographs of sample 48,969. The scale bar in both images is 1 mm long. a Extensive reactive symplectites, formed of anorthitic plagioclase and clinopyroxene (cumulus grains of clinopyroxene are labelled cpx), growing from Fe–Ti oxide grains (ox) and replacing plagioclase (plag). Symplectites are common at the margins of the melanocratic layers. b Interstitial Fe–Ti oxides in the leucocratic portions of the modally graded layers are not associated with reactive symplectites, but occur in association with interstitial quartz (arrowed)
