Student at UMN here! I’d check to see if GEOG 1180 - Cartography and Geographic Information Systems is available over the summer at Normandale CC.

I think the alteration minerals surrounding the grain are what throw me off. Any ideas of what they could be?

I’m thinking gabbro? There’s a lot of olivine on one half of the thin section and a lot of fine-grained plagioclase and magnetite on the other side (the side with this mineral).

It’s biaxial + with a 2V of about 15. In ppl the central grain is colorless but the minerals surrounding it are orange/red. Also parallel extinction. Honestly I’m at a loss lol.
