Recrystallised plagioclase in volcanic metasediments of the Foreshore Group (hornblende-hornfels facies) has a strong preferred orientation with crystala-axes [100] lying parallel to bedding and with a maximum parallel to a lineation (= maximum principal strain axis or axis of greatest elongation); composition varies widely from bed to bed from oligoclase to anorthite. The preferred orientation is interpreted to result from the mechanical rotation of elongate plagioclase ejecta in the original unconsolidated tuff during strain caused by intrusion of the adjacent Bluff igneous complex. Evidence for such an orienting mechanism is found in the preferred orientation of large unrecrystallised plagioclase ejecta. Matrix plagioclase is generally recrystallised to form granoblastic mosaics; this texture represents a mimetic recrystallisation which reduced grainboundary energy in the fine-grained matrix during the thermal event immediately succeeding deformation.
