Fabric Code: tpr250

Malakula pyribole-poor

Predominantly volcanic rock fragments (mainly felsitic-microcrystalline quartz-feldspar mosaics).

Fabric Class:

Felsitic-Microlitic: Dominated by felsitic and/or microlitic lithic inclusions.

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