Petrographic and mineralogical data of the studied samples. Bir. = Birefringence: L = low or absent birefringence; Qtz = Quartz; An = Anorthite; I/Ms = illite– muscovite; Geh = gehlenite; Hm = Hematite; Di = diopside. The number of (x) is related to the mineralogical phase abundance: xxxx = abundant; xxx = present; xx = scarce; x = rare; tr = trace.
