Textures & classification aka “name-calling”

Updates Today’s topics: Classification of igneous rocks Textures 3rd lab = Field trip

Volcanic rocks: aphanitic

Ultra-mafic rocks & felsic vs. mafic

Classification of Igneous Rocks Figure 2-2. A classification of the phaneritic igneous rocks. b. Gabbroic rocks. c. Ultramafic rocks. After IUGS. Olivine Clinopyroxene Orthopyroxene Lherzolite Harzburgite Wehrlite Websterite Orthopyroxenite Clinopyroxenite Olivine Websterite Peridotites Pyroxenites 90 40 10 Dunite (c)

Classification of Igneous Rocks Figure 2-4. A chemical classification of volcanics based on total alkalis vs. silica. After Le Bas et al. (1986) J. Petrol., 27, 745-750. Oxford University Press.

Classification of Igneous Rocks Ash (< 2 mm) Lapilli (2-64 mm) Lapilli- Tuff Lapilli stone Tuff 30 30 Lapilli - Tuff Breccia 70 70 Pyroclastic Breccia or Agglomerate Blocks and Bombs (> 64 mm) (b) Figure 2-5. Classification of the pyroclastic rocks. a. Based on type of material. After Pettijohn (1975) Sedimentary Rocks, Harper & Row, and Schmid (1981) Geology, 9, 40-43. b. Based on the size of the material. After Fisher (1966) Earth Sci. Rev., 1, 287-298.
