Textures of Critical Zone anorthosites of the western lobe of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa

# Summary

This presentation describes high-resolution element maps and electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD) data acquired from the Merensky Reef, Boulder Bed, and Mottled anorthosites from the western lobe of the Bushveld Complex. We describe a possible connection between the units and outline considerations for future petrogenetic models. This talk was presented at the virtual 2022 Platinum Symposium.
