Placered hybrid of terrigenous and calcareous sand grains.

Volcanic sand tempers, predominantly, polyminerallic volcanic rock fragments, with reddish vitric (glassy) groundmasses, but also some with microlitic and felsitic groundmass textures (all suitable for derivation from andesitic source rocks).
