and Manga, M.: 2003, A technique for measuring 3D CSD of prismatic
microlites in obsidian.
Other attractions at Skylive will include Spitfire and Hurricane planes, an amazing 15-minute routine by The Blades display team and other quirky aircraft, including
microlites, a Skyvan and an RAF Bulldog.
The pillow lavas have microvesicles that are filled with chlorite; carbonate and opaque minerals that located in a groundmass of plagioclase and clinopyroxene
microlites. The spilitic basalts have plagioclase, clinopyroxene and minor opaque minerals (titaniferous minerals) that have intersertal texture.
They have a 100-300 [micro]m thick brown glassy rim which contains
microlites of plagioclase and abundant oxides (Fig.
Alkali basalts, trachybasalts, and trachyandesites are porphyritic rocks exhibiting phenocrysts and/or microphenocrysts of clinopyroxene ([Wo.sub.44-49][Fs.sub.7-15]), olivine ([Fo.sub.65-83]), plagioclase ([An.sub.28-76]), magnetite, and biotite set in a glassy groundmasses consisting of
microlites of clinopyroxene ([Wo.sub.46-49][Fs.sub.13-18]), magnetite, ilmenite, biotite, plagioclase ([An.sub.20-45]), alkali feldspar ([Or.sub.52-65]), nephelineanalcime ([Ne.sub.37-73][Ks.sub.22-38]), amphibole, and apatite [+ or -] titanite [+ or -] zircon.
Rhyolite consists of feldspar
microlites, quartz, and minor K-feldspar, and exhibits only weak alteration.
We looked at a lot of tourmalines, quartz crystals, rhodizites, spinels,
microlites, morganites, titanites and quartz crystals.
Groundmass plagioclase generally occurs as small
microlites, crystallites, and tiny columnar laths.
A hovercraft was also on hand to give pleasure rides, and
microlites landed on the beach in front of thousands of excited spectators.
Veterinary medicine was a passion inspired by his father, although he was also keen on "breaking the bonds of the Earth," flying anything from hang-gliders and
microlites to old canvas or "spamcam" aircraft.
