Chapter 3: Igneous Textures Figure 3.1. Idealized rates of crystal nucleation and growth as a function of temperature below the melting point. Slow cooling results in only minor undercooling (Ta), so that rapid growth and slow nucleation produce fewer coarse-grained crystals. Rapid cooling permits more undercooling (Tb), so that slower growth and rapid nucleation produce many fine-grained crystals. Very rapid cooling involves little if any nucleation or growth (Tc) producing a glass.

Igneous Textures Figure 3.2. Backscattered electron image of quenched “blue glassy pahoehoe,” 1996 Kalapana flow, Hawaii. Black minerals are felsic plagioclase and gray ones are mafics. a. Large embayed olivine phenocryst with smaller plagioclase laths and clusters of feathery augite nucleating on plagioclase. Magnification ca. 400X. b. ca. 2000X magnification of feathery quenched augite crystals nucleating on plagioclase (black) and growing in a dendritic form outward. Augite nucleates on plagioclase rather than pre-existing augite phenocrysts, perhaps due to local enrichment in mafic components as plagioclase depletes the adjacent liquid in Ca, Al, and Si. © John Winter and Prentice Hall.

Figure 3. 14. Development of cumulate textures. a Figure 3.14. Development of cumulate textures. a. Crystals accumulate by crystal settling or simply form in place near the margins of the magma chamber. In this case plagioclase crystals (white) accumulate in mutual contact, and an intercumulus liquid (pink) fills the interstices. b. Orthocumulate: intercumulus liquid crystallizes to form additional plagioclase rims plus other phases in the interstitial volume (colored). There is little or no exchange between the intercumulus liquid and the main chamber. After Wager and Brown (1967), Layered Igneous Rocks. © Freeman. San Francisco.

Figure 3. 14. Development of cumulate textures. c Figure 3.14. Development of cumulate textures. c. Adcumulates: open-system exchange between the intercumulus liquid and the main chamber (plus compaction of the cumulate pile) allows components that would otherwise create additional intercumulus minerals to escape, and plagioclase fills most of the available space. d. Heteradcumulate: intercumulus liquid crystallizes to additional plagioclase rims, plus other large minerals (hatched and shaded) that nucleate poorly and poikilitically envelop the plagioclases. .
