Lithic fragment (geology)

Igneous (Lv)Edit

These can include granular (~rhyolitic), microlitic (~andesitic), lathwork (~basaltic), and vitric (glassy). These correlations between composition and volcanic lithic fragment type are approximate, at best.[2][3] By definition, intrusive igneous rock fragments can not be considered lithic fragments.

Sedimentary (Ls)Edit


Metamorphic (Lm)Edit
