Thin-section microphotographs of the white anorthosite suite (a^c) and dark anorthosite suite (d) of the Kunene Intusive Complex (a and d, cross-polarized light; b and c, plane-polarized light). (a) Leucogabbronorite (Ku-97-04): euhedral cumulus plagioclase and cumulus clinopyroxene are surrounded by ilmenite and amphibole containing apatite inclusions. Plagioclase is sericitized along cracks. (b) Leucogabbronorite (Ku-97-08b): relict xenocryst of andradite-rich garnet adjacent to altered intercumulus phases is surrounded by late magmatic amphibole. (c) Pyroxene-bearing anorthosite (Ku-06-60): orthopyroxene, biotite and anhedral zircon surround cumulus plagioclase crystals. (d) Leucotroctolite (Ku-06-15): subhedral cumulus plagioclase with olivine inclusions and interstitial olivine.
