Abstract

Apparently perthitic textures of microcline phenocrysts in this rock are not due to exsolution but to deformation. Microscopic fracture planes show no offset, however, and are restricted to feldspar crystals, i.e. absent in quartz. A hypothesis of depth formation is presented, and possible shock origin discussed.
