Name: Tonalite (Bonsall Tonalite)
Type: rock
Class: Igneous
Subclass: Intermediate
Particle Size: Fine
Sample No.: Tonalite_H1
Owner: JHU
Wavelength Range: All
Origin: San Diego County, California via Ward's Scientific (Cat. No. W-24)
Collection Date: N/A
Description: Sample from which powder was derived is a medium-grained gray rock composed of whitish plagioclase, quartz, biotite, and a black mafic mineral.Particle size was 0-75 micrometers. Original ASTER Spectral Library name was jhu.becknic.rock.igneous.intermediate.fine.tonali1.spectrum.txt
Composition:

Petrographic Description:  In this sample the sodic plagioclase and 
hornblende are subhedral, the quartz, biotite, and opaques are anhedral.  
Some of the basal sections of hornblende shown twinning while the biotite is 
partly chloritized.  Some of the plagioclase show sericitization in the cores, 
and occasionally normal zoning.  The quartz often show undulose extinction.
Apatite occurs as a minor accessory mineral, and much less zircon (in 
biotite) and epidote.  The modes are 53% plagioclase, 21% quartz, 15% 
biotite, 9% hornblende, 1.4% miscellaneous (apatite, epidote, sericite), and 
0.6% opaques.  Very weak spectral features indicate the presence of a trace 
of carbonate.

Microprobe Analysis:  The plagioclase composition ranged from An38 to 
An50 (andesine-labradorite).  The hornblende composition was relatively
homogeneous, with a composition equivalent to hastingsite.
