An Occurrence of Orbicular Structure, of Metasomatic Origin, in the Gold Coast.

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Abstract

Orbicules consisting of cores of pargasite and epidote with rims of plagioclase, in a matrix composed mainly of pargasite, plagioclase, and epidote, are described and attributed to the metasomatic action of alkaline fluids permeating crushed amphibolite.
