Figure F117. A. Unidentified pink-white mineral in a cavity from a troctolitic gabbro (interval 304-1309D-5R-4, 11–20 cm) (field of view [FOV] = 5 cm) and its XRD spectra. B. Beige-green cavity next to a felsic area in a troctolitic gabbro (interval 304-1309D-8R-2, 56–57 cm) (FOV = 4.5 cm) and its XRD spectra. The filling minerals have been identified by XRD and consist mainly of amphibole with the presence of few clays (possibly saponite), as suggested by the diffraction peak at ~4°2θ. amph = amphibole.
