The analysis of the photomicrographs shows alteration products but too few and<br />

too little to be analyzed in depth. The SE image at 1500x presents some secondary<br />

products that seem to be a rosette of zeolite, with a size of 1 to 2 microns which are too<br />

small to perform an EDS analysis. In conclusion we obtained what seem to be alteration<br />

products but in a quantity not enough to consolidate the grains.<br />
