Full description
Plane-polarized and cross-polarized thin section images of basalt samples from Macquarie Ridge Complex.The MRC samples include basalts collected from Macquarie Island, the only exposed portion of the submarine Macquarie Ridge, by R. Merle and K. Evans during a field trip in November 2017, and dredge samples collected by the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, New Zealand, during the TAN0803 voyage in 2008.
