Borsch et al. ◀ Micas in ancient sandstones ▶ 2018 ICC 318 Figure 10. Micas from the Coconino Sandstone, Arizona that exhibit splayed ends indicating they are detrital grains and did not grow within the rock after deposition. Many of the previous images illustrate the same thing along with mica flakes that are fractured or broken into two or more pieces. The images on the left are in plane polarized light and the images on the right are the same images viewed under cross polarized light.The photographs are oriented so that “up” is also the top of the photograph.
