Microcracks in samples of core from a 3000-foot hole in the Conway granite, near North Conway, New Hampshire, are abundant and most of them are sealed with siderite, chlorite, quartz, hematite, clay, or microbreccia. The sealed cracks are 1 to 100.mu. wide, intersect many grain boundaries, often coi...
