Volcanic textures: A guide to the interpretation of textures in volcanic rocks
The book contains 46 thematic plates comprising 330 colour photographs, each accompanied by a description and, where appropriate, an interpretation. The plates are complemented by text that reviews relevant genetic processes and facies relationships. Part 1 gives an introduction to terminology, field identification techniques and classification. Part 2 describes selected textures, components and structures in volcanic deposits. Part 3 focuses on lavas, shallow intrusions and related autoclastic deposits. Part 4 covers pyroclastic and other volcaniclastic deposits with emphasis on transport and depositional processes. Part 5 outlines the textual effects of hydrothermal alteration, especially in the vicinity of massive sulfide ore deposits, using examples from the Mount Read Volcanics.
