Abstract:

Modal mineralogy for chromitite and pyroxenite samples from the Bushveld Complex. These come from drill core ZK135 collected in the Thaba mine located in the northwestern part of the Bushveld. The drill core intercepts the MG1 chromitite layer, which is bounded at the top and bottom by orthopyroxenite cumulate rocks.
