Asset Overview

Layered troctolite (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troctolite), with alternating layers of anorthosite, troctolite (olivine-rich anorthosite), harzburgite, and norite from the Stokes Mountain intrusive complex, Sierra Nevada, California. Troctolites form by crystals sinking through the magma, so layering is common.
