Fig. 3. Outcrop and microscale appearance of metabasalts in inland Makimine mélange.

Fig. 3

(A) Metabasalt layers with low amplitude, long wavelength pinch, and swell geometry interlayered with metasediment. (B) EDS element map of inland Makimine metabasalt, where actinolite and chlorite form in stress shadows adjacent to clinopyroxene grains. (C) Backscattered electron image of actinolite in an asymmetric stress shadow about a clinopyroxene grain. (D) Albite and clinopyroxene grains have an SPO with long axes parallel to foliation, more pronounced in larger aspect ratio grains. Photo credit (A): C. Tulley, Cardiff University.
