Preferred orientations of garnet porphyroblasts reveal previously cryptic templating during nucleation

Abstract Electron back scattered diffraction data of garnet crystals from the Nelson Aureole, British Columbia and the Mosher’s Island formation, Nova Scotia, reveals that 22 garnet crystals are all oriented with one of three crystal directions parallel to the trace of the foliation plane in thin se...
