Abundant phenocrysts and glomerocrysts of altered olivine and fresh clinopyroxene, up to 2 mm across, occur with sporadic microphenocrysts of opaque iron oxide and alkali feldspar (Figure 3.1). The olivine is replaced by carbonate and clay. Euhedral clinopyroxenes are sometimes partially resorbed along their margins and exhibit strong core to rim and sector growth zoning.
