Porphyritic basalt is a mafic igneous rock having phenocrysts and an aphanitic groundmass. The phenocrysts are calcic plagioclase feldspar (light gray in the photo below). The finely crystalline groundmass is principally a mixture of
Basalt (UK: / ˈ b æ s ɒ l t,-ɔː l t,-əl t /; [1] [2] US: / b ə ˈ s ɔː l t, ˈ b eɪ s ɔː l t /) [3] is an aphanitic (fine-grained) extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of low-viscosity lava rich in
Rhomb porphyry is a volcanic rock with gray-white large porphyritic rhombus-shaped phenocrysts of feldspar (commonly anorthoclase) embedded in a very fine-grained red-brown matrix. The

Rhomb porphyry is a volcanic rock with gray-white large porphyritic rhombus-shaped phenocrysts of feldspar (commonly anorthoclase) embedded in a very fine-grained red-brown matrix. The composition of rhomb porphyry places it in
Basalts may be entirely fine grained or may show phenocrysts of olivine and/or plagioclase. Basalts also may show vesicular or amygdaloidal textures. This rock displays a fine-grained, porphyritic texture. The relatively small olivine

Porphyrite or porphyritic basalt is characterized by obvious crystals, usually of plagioclase, which is often white or tan in color. These crystals are typically interpreted as phases that formed
222;Porphyritic is used as an adjective to modify the name of any fine-grained igneous rock that has less than 50% phenocrysts in it. Example: Porphyritic basalt, porphyritic
Basalt is a fine-grained, dark-colored extrusive igneous rock composed mainly of plagioclase and pyroxene. The specimen shown is about two inches (five centimeters) across. Diorite is a
Tholeiitic basalt often represents a fine, glassy groundmass consisting of fine-grained quartz and other main constituent minerals. The tholeiitic basalt has fine-porphyritic texture, which is
