23. Finding The Minerals Identify the rock. Unless you have other information, work in the middle of the rock’s box.

24. This is the amount of Potassium Feldspar in the rock.

25. This is the amount of Quartz in the rock.

26. This is the amount of Plagioclase Feldspar in the rock.

27. Use tick marks on a scrap paper to measure the percentage. Potassium Feldspar 25% Quartz 40%

28. Practice Name a light-colored, fine-grained rock with no bubbles.

29. Name a coarse-grained, dense rock & contains only Olivine.

30. Name a very light-colored, glassy, extrusive rock with bubbles.

31. FQ: Name the fine grain, vesicular igneous rock, with the minerals plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene and amphiboles.
