 MYRMEKITE 44 of 50
In the Papoose Flat pluton in the Inyo Mountains of California the orthoclase megacrysts are suggested to form by K-metasomatism because microfracturing of a few normally zoned plagioclase crystals channeled introduced K-bearing fluids to these places, thereby promoting K-metasomatism and localized growth to form the megacrysts.
Moreover, the K-feldspar crystals in the terranes in California and Connecticut, in which Simpson and Wintsch (1989) assumed that the K-feldspar crystals were primary, have been restudied, and the K-feldspar crystals are actually secondary K-replacements of primary plagioclase in deformed rocks (Collins, 1997f, 1997g).
