Plagioclase makes up more than 95% of the rock. Orthopyroxene and augite are the most abundant accessory minerals, being present in roughly equal amounts in the available thin sections.

The application of neutron texture goniometry with a position sensitive detector to anorthosite (Wenk et al., 1986) has created new possibilities for the texture analysis of feldspar rocks. However, access to neutron diffraction facilities is extremely restricted, and the data processing is time consuming, hence such analysis is uncommon.

anorthosite was liquid, not diaplectic and intrudes the basalt (Fig. 1). Although the anorthosite has generally been referred to as a clast in the basalt, the contact of the non-melted anorthosite with the basalt is not in the thin sections and the relationships are obscure. Much of the rock is coated with a thin aluminous glass (Fig. 1).

5). Anorthosite, type of intrusive igneous rock composed predominantly of calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar. All anorthosites found on Earth consist of coarse crystals, but some samples of the rock taken from the Moon are finely crystalline. Most anorthosites formed during Precambrian times.

Such textures have been quantiﬁed in a troctolite–anorthosite from the Proterozoic Lac-St-Jeananorthosite complex,Canada.

Abstract. Lunar anorthosite 15415 consists almost entirely of anorthite (homogeneous anorthite 96.6 molecule percent), with accessory diopsidic augite and traces of hypersthene, ilmenite, and a silica mineral. The rock has had a complex metamorphic history. The texture reflects at least two episodes of shearing (followed by intense and partial recrystallization, respectively), one episode of cataclastic deformation, and one or more episodes of shattering and fragmentation.

Most anorthosites formed during Precambrian times. Ashwal (1993) listed six major types or anorthosite occurrences: 1. Archean anorthosite plutons 2. Proterozoic “massif-type” anorthosite plutons 3.

Commonly, anorthosites form at the tops of modally graded layers on the scale of several meters up to 100 meters or more. Grain size (typically <1 cm) is characteristically smaller than the massif-type or Archean anorthosites, and textures vary from orthocumulates with tabular crysts of plagioclase to adcumulates having equant polygonal grains.

Figure 20-2 Anorthosite is a white to light gray-colored intrusive igneous rock. Major minerals of anorthosite include just feldspar. Anorthosite has a coarse-grained texture due to slow cooling underground. An information card with details on the rock formation, mineral content, characteristics, and uses is included.

6. Massive anorthosite has adcumulate texture comprising tightly packed cumulus plagioclase with accessory (<10 vol%) abundances of intercumulus pyroxene and Fe-Ti oxide. The mesocumulate texture that characterizes leucogabbronorite-leuconorite is defined by higher proportions of intercumulus pyroxene and Fe-Ti oxide.
