===Augen gneiss=== <!-- This section is the target of a redirect from [[Augen gneiss]]. --> {{See also|Augen}} [[File:Augen-gneiss.jpg|thumb|Augen gneiss from {{Lang|pt|[[Leblon]]|italic=no}}, Rio de Janeiro City, Brazil]] [[File:Orthogneiss oeillé - Ras Prat Cabrera (Canigou).jpg|thumb|Ordovician augen gneiss outcrop, [[Canigó]] massif, eastern Pyrenees, France]] '''Augen gneiss''', from the {{langx|de|Augen}} {{IPA|de|ˈaʊɡən|}}, meaning "eyes", is a gneiss resulting from metamorphism of granite, which contains characteristic elliptic or [[Lens (geology)|lenticular]] shear-bound grains ([[porphyroclast]]s), normally [[feldspar]], surrounded by finer grained material. The finer grained material deforms around the more resistant feldspar grains to produce this texture.{{sfn|Blatt|Tracy|1996|pp=358-359}}
