Russia, Amur region, Kolbachi Creek Valley. Contact granodiorites (light) and lamproite dike (dark). Porphyry biotite-hornblende granodiorites. Granodiorites form a large Haiktinsky massif. A characteristic feature of granodiorites is the greenish color of plagioclase and the rocks themselves, due to the processes of chlorination, epidotization and carbonatization, accompanied by co-securitization and seritization of plagioclase. Pozdnestanovoy complex. Paleoproterozoic. Lamproite dike - the third phase of the Amujikan complex. Upper Jurassic.

Dyke granodiorite porphyry. Sikhote-Alin series of Eocene subintrusions. Eocene. The dyke has a length of about 800 m. The maximum thickness is 150 m. It has a submeridional strike (Az. 350 degrees). Az pad. 80 degrees. Angle of 70-80 degrees. Wedges out on both flanks splitting into several small bodies. Pledged by a series of faults, traceable after wedging out of the dyke in siltstones. In the upper part, granodiorites are intensively weathered to a completely disintegrated weathering crust.

Russia, Amur region, Haikta river valley, Berezite gold mine. Granodiorites in a pit wall with lamproite dikes (dark). Porphyry biotite-hornblende granodiorites. Granodiorites form a large Haiktinsky massif. A characteristic feature of granodiorites is the greenish color of plagioclase and the rocks themselves, due to the processes of chlorination, epidotization and carbonatization, accompanied by co-securitization and seritization of plagioclase. Pozdnestanovoy complex. Paleoproterozoic.

Lamproite dike - the third phase of the Amujikan complex. Upper Jurassic.
