None
END_COMPOSITION_DISCUSSION.
MICROSCOPIC_EXAMINATION:
Bimodal grain size distribution:
population 1 = 650µm 99 vol%
population 2 = 40µm 1 vol%
avg. grain size of populations = 648µm
Smaller grains cover 20% of larger tabular grains. Grains have low relief, first order gray interference color, no visible twins, refractive index close to 1.51 oil. This sample was ground from a single k-feldspar crystal. G. Swayze
