    • The youngest sills are undeformed and crosscut older foliated troctolite sills, which in turn crosscut isoclinally folded hybrid gabbro-troctolite-anorthosite complexes.
    • Metasomatic anorthosite formed by replacement of layered gabbroic troctolite in the Skaergaard intrusion is shown here.
    • Hydrated troctolite is most voluminous in boudin necks, the hinge regions of map-scale folds, and in shear zones, all regions where structural features may have favored local fluid infiltration.
