Yanuca calcareous

Local temper.

Fabric Class:

Pyroxenic Calcareous: Dominated by pyroxene inclusions, with calcareous.

Dissected Orogen: Dominated by plutonic lithics such as microgranite, and those with microphaneritic textures, as well as metavolcanics. They have K-feldspars dominate, in addition to plagioclase.
