Oceanic Basalt (Q137382425)

Mainly contain olivines, clinopyroxenes and plagioclase, and have lathwork and mafic vitric lithic fragments.

Note that to see the 'Geology' layer (layer options in top right corner) you may have to zoom out.

Many fabrics have a range of abundances. The range maximum (top) and minimum (bottom) are shown.
