 Diagenetic albitization(Ab) of  plagioclase(P) along cleavage  planes. Note dissolution along  cleavage planes(arrows).

 Albite(dark gray) and calcite(light  gray) replacement of K-feldspar  (medium gray). You can see small  remnant original plagioclase in  right center of this sand-size grain  in mudrock.

 Plagioclase albitization along grain  margin. Faint oscillatory  compositional zoning is observed.  Within this plagioclase grain is  observed calcite(light).

 Plagioclase(P) albitization along  microfractures. Albite overgrowth  (Ab) and calcite cement(Cc) are  also observed.

 Albitization along microfracture  (arrows) in plagioclase(P1). Albite  overgrowth(Ab) and calcite cement  and replacement are also  observed.

 Early micrite(light gray)-cemented  sandstone. Note the brightness  contrast between quartz(dark  gray) and plagioclase(medium  gray). The unaltered nature of  plagioclase grains indicates that  plagioclase albitization occurred  during diagenesis, not in source  area.
