Massive light green metagabbros are present only within the Outcrop 1 (i.e., Cala S. Maria, Fig. a above). It is often strongly fractured, especially in the southern part of the outcrop. The metagabbro is made up of green-grayish pyroxene crystals surrounded by white, more or less weathered whitish plagioclase. The size of pyroxene crystals is strongly variable, ranging from millimetric-centimetric to 20 cm in the pegmatitic (or euphotid) gabbro that is common in the northern part of the outcrop.
