Paubake feldspathic natural temper

Paubake-natural tempering. Plagioclase, with hornblende and clinopyroxene. Hornblende more than clinopyroxene. Microlitic possibly really microphanerite.

Fabric Class:

Feldspathic Igneous-Amphibolic: Dominated by feldspar inclusions, with igneous lithics and amphiboles.

Andesitic Arc: Dominated by andesite and basalt lithic fragments, with microlitic, felsitic and vitric textures, and the andesite minerals (plagioclase, clinopyroxene and sometimes hornblende).
