  1. Thin section image of a classic layered sequence from the Rum layered Intrusion. The way up is peridotite (multicoloured) at the top and anorthosite at the bottom. The band of opaque phase crossing the center of the sample is a chromitite band. Injection of a slug of picritic magma, plus magma mixing or incorporation o...

  2. Thin section of lunar sample 60025. Coarse-grained, moderately shocked, pristine cataclastic ferroan anorthosite. Collected 15 m southwest of Lunar Module. Apollo 16 mission. Field of view approximately 8 by 6 mm. Crossed polars. Taken with the automated thin section imaging system at Williams College.

  3. Can you find the anorthosite xenolith in this roadcut of diabase? (Hint: it's LARGE.)

  4. State Route 3 through the northern Adirondacks is know to geologists as "The Anorthosite Highway" because of its spectacular cuts throught the Marcy Massif anorthosite unit. This is the third of a series of three GigaPans I shot at this roadcut to illustate the anorthosite at a range of scales.

  7. Roaring Brook on Giant Mountain in the Adirondacks holds a special place in my heart because it was the site (a bit further upstream) of my first geology research project, undertaken as an undergrad at Colgate University. The falls occur where the hanging valley of Roaring Brook joins the main valley of the Auasble Ri...

  8. Every once in a while I get so exasperated by changing lighting conditions that I just throw up my hands and let the GigaPan shoot whatever happens to come its way. This is the sort of poor exposure that results. Impatience is clearly not a virtue.

  9. Anorthosites metamorphosed to granulite facies underly most of the High Peaks region of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York. This sample illustrates beautiful examples of garnet coronas around pyroxenes. This one's for you, Chief!
