Field aspects of the Aiguilles Rouges massif. a Lenses of ultramafic rocks at the northern end of the Aiguilles Rouges Gabbro are cut by basaltic dikes. b Serpentinized harzburgite cut by a gabbro dike. The gabbro dike is cut by basaltic dikes. Note that basaltic dikes developed chlorite blackwalls in contact with serpentinized harzburgite. The lens cover diameter is 8 cm. (Coordinates: N46°02′36.04′′, E7°26′01.36′′). c Deformed Aiguilles Rouges gabbros with mm-scale high temperature mylonitic shear zones. The handlens is 6 cm long)
