Abstract

Ocellar hybrid rocks, formed by metasomatic transformation of basalt xenoliths engulfed in granitic magma, are characterized by numerous small, oval quartz porphyroblasts, each sheathed with narrow rims of amphibole. The progressive development of these quartz ocelli, together with the general texture of the ocellar hybrid, is traced through a number of intermediate hybrid types. In some instances, the ocellar hybrid displays an intrusive relationship toward basalt and is thought to have undergone a certain amount of metasomatic mobilization.
