| Description |
Anorthosite in the Precambrian of Minnesota, USA. This is part of a large anorthosite xenolith that is hosted in gabbro of the widespread Duluth Complex, a ~1.1 billion year old suite of igneous rocks in northeastern Minnesota that is associated with volcanism in the Lake Superior segment of the ancient Mid-Continent Rift System. Anorthosite is a mafic, phaneritic (coarsely-crystalline), intrusive igneous rock dominated by the mineral plagioclase feldspar - (Ca,Na)Al2Si2O8 - calcium sodium aluminosilicate. The brownish areas are a weathering crust. Geologic unit & age of host rocks (not seen in this photo): anorthosite series, Duluth Complex, late Mesoproterozoic, 1099 Ma Age of anorthosite xenolith: unknown, but Precambrian, likely derived from the lower crust Locality: Keene Creek East outcrop - roadcut along the northern side of Skyline Parkway, Duluth, northeastern Minnesota, USA (46° 45’ 08.52” North, 92° 10’ 29.93” West) |
