Figure F42. Sample 304-U1309B-11R-1, 98–100 cm. A. Talc band in contact with peridotite and penetrating along cracks (cross-polarized light; field of view [FOV] = 5 mm). B. Deformed clinopyroxene with bent lamellae surrounded by recrystallized olivine grains (cross-polarized light; FOV = 2.5 mm). C. Clinopyroxene (cpx) along grain boundaries and cutting a mantle olivine (ol) grain (cross-polarized light; FOV = 2.5 mm). D. Altered pyroxene (px) forming an interconnected network (plane-polarized light; FOV = 5 mm). E. Fresh clinopyroxene corroding an altered orthopyroxene (cross-polarized light; FOV = 5 mm).
