The basalts of Core 13, Section 1, and Core 13, Section 2 are in lithic continuity with the vesicular basalts of Core 12, Section 1, but differ from them in their slightly coarser grain size and lack of vesicles and phenocrysts. The nonvesicular basalts are subfriable, and during drilling many of the short core segments were abraded ...
الحصول على السعرPorphyritic rocks exhibit grains (crystals) in two, or more, sizes (or populations). The larger sized crystals are called phenocrysts. Phenocrysts are always large enough to be seen by the eye without magnifiion. By definition, phenocrysts are phaneritic. The smaller sized crystals between the larger sized crystals constitute the groundmass. Crystals of the groundmass may be visible to the ...

الحصول على السعرPorphyritic textures develop when conditions during cooling of a magma change relatively quickly. The earlier formed minerals will have formed slowly and remain as large crystals, whereas, sudden cooling causes the rapid crystallization of the remainder of the melt into a fine grained (aphanitic) matrix. The result is an aphanitic rock with some larger crystals .
