Summary
[edit]DescriptionLarge layered anorthosite inclusion (Precambrian) in Beaver River Diabase (Beaver Bay Complex, Mesoproterozoic, 1096 Ma) (Split Rock Lighthouse, Minnesota, USA) 7.jpg |
English: Anorthosite in the Precambrian of Minnesota, USA.
The rock outcrop shown above occurs at the base of the Split House Lighthouse. This is part of a large layered anorthosite inclusion that is hosted in a diabase intrusion (not visible here) of the Beaver River Diabase. Anorthosite is a coarsely-crystalline, intrusive igneous rock composed principally, or ~exclusively, of plagioclase feldspar (= calcium sodium aluminosilicate, NaAlSi3O8 to CaAl2Si2O8). The layering is caused by slight compositional and/or crystal size differences, originally produced by differential crystal settling in an ancient magma chamber. Note: the anorthosite layering is the tilted banding from upper right to lower left. Description of this rock unit from Miller et al. (2001): "Anorthosite inclusion - Gray to pale-green, coarse- to medium-grained anorthosite to gabbroic anorthosite (more than 90 percent plagioclase); forms large (less than 500 m) blocks in unchilled ophitic olivine diabase." Geologic unit & age: large anorthosite inclusion (Precambrian) hosted in Beaver River Diabase (Beaver Bay Complex, Midcontinent Rift Intrusive Supersuite, late Mesoproterozoic, 1096 Ma) Locality: rocky base of Split Rock Lighthouse, Stony Point, northern shore of western Lake Superior, northeastern Minnesota, USA (47° 12’ 00.36” North latitude, 91° 22’ 01.45” West longitude) Reference cited: Miller et al.
