Amygdaloidal Basalt Rum Virtual Microscope This rock comes from the canna lava formation (post central complex lavas located in nw rum). it was intruded in the paleogene during the formation of an ancient volcano, now deeply eroded, which in turn was part of the large north atlantic volcanic province. This fine grained altered basalt is from papa stour, a remote island to the west of the shetland islands. the island is formed almost entirely of volcanic rocks erupted during the devonian period. the sample was collected by the scottish mineralogist matthew forster heddle (1828—1897).
Amygdaloidal Basalt Rum It covers plate tectonic processes including extensional regimes, subduction zone processes, and collisional processes such as the formation of the himalaya. the module is intended for those with an understanding of the essentials of igneous and metamorphic rock formation processes, plate tectonic theory and structural processes. The united kingdom virtual microscope (ukvm) collection consists of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic teaching sets. access the digital thin sections on the open university's virtual microscope for earth sciences project website. Basalts may also be spongy or amygdaloidal. this latter form of the rock occurs due to the deposition of secondary minerals, such as calcite or quartz, in gas bubbles that become trapped within the rock during the cooling process. Under transmitted microscope they appear red to opaque due to high percentage of veins occurred among the volcanic rocks with different thickness (fig. 3h). however, there is no any.

Fine grained, greenish black rock comprising dark and white minerals. contains amygdales, mostly white, though some have black cores. fine grained plagioclase laths and irregular clinopyroxene (augite) grains, replaced with calcite. many of the plagioclase laths have been almost entirely altered.

Basalt, which is one of the most prevalent rock types on earth, is of volcanic origin. relatively rich in iron and magnesium, the name of the rock is believed to stem form the ethiopian term basal, meaning "a rock from which iron can be derived.". The alkali basalt samples (pb 29 and pb 30) have low mgo, high tio 2 and high p 2 o 5 contents similar to high nb basalts (hnb) of erguna massif in northeast china (liu et al., 2019).
