Locality: Poudrette quarry (Demix quarry; Uni-Mix quarry; Desourdy quarry; Carrière Mont Saint-Hilaire), Mont Saint-Hilaire, Rouville RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada

View window 3.4 x 2.5 mm. Found Sept 2000.
Interesting “parquet” surface on a tabular xl in a hornfels seam.
The angles of the parquet may be telling me something about whether this is really anatase or one of the other polymorphs – all three are found in this environment. But I don’t understand the “language”. I also don’t know what the orangey xls are.
Stereo child photo.
