Examples of tuff

  • Simultaneous eruption of ash-flow tuffs resulted in a sequence of interbedded tuffs, sedimentary breccias and andesitic lavas.

  • More rarely clasts of streaky flow-banded or parataxitic material occur, derived from earlier welded tuffs.

  • In the massive tuffs, vitric to crysto-vitric varieties show delicately shaped glass shards and broken phenocrysts of euhedral quartz, plagioclase, muscovite, orthoclase, zircon and ilmenite.

  • The sequence comprises alternations of coarse tuff units that fine upwards and thinner lapilli-rich tuff horizons.

  • These two tuffs could have had the same parental magmas than the other tuffs and associated basalts.

  • Capstones also made of volcanic tuff covered the conduit for the length of its course, although differences in how the capstones were worked are apparent.

  • Pyroclastic products are widespread and include lapilli tuff, lithic tuff, agglomerate and pyroclastic breccia; compositionally similar lava flows are massive or blocky.

  • Since the chemical composition of the primary tuffs likely reflects their source material, the tectonomagmatic derivation of the volcanic ashes can be deduced.
