A similar project had been undertaken by the author for a Metallogenic Atlas of the Pine Creek Region in the Northern Territory, Australia (refer Geoscience Australia). Thin Sections are held at Geoscience Australia. The fields in this dataset are: Map Sheet Sample Point Locality Geoscience Australia Sample qualifiers lithology quartz feldspar (undifferentiated) Potassium feldspar Orthoclase Microcline Plagioclase albite oligoclase andesine labradorite bytownite anorthite white mica phlogopite muscovite biotite hornblende tremolite actinolite cummingtonite anthophyllite riebeckite garnet orthopyroxene clinopyroxene augite pigeonite olivine carbonate minerals (undifferentiated) calcite dolomite zoisite clinozoisite epidote scapolite wollastonite spinel staurolite chloritoid cordierite sillimanite andalusite kyanite zircon monazite apatite tourmaline beryl shene addingsite talc seprentinite sericite clay minerals (undifferentiated) glauconite pinnite chlorite prehnite allanite fluorite opaque minerals (undifferentiated) graphite magnetite ilmenite leucoxene rutile limonite siderite hematite pyrite Additional observations comment Source of Information
