About Basic volcanic rock
A chemical classification based on the TAS diagram for normal volcanic rocks with between 45 and 52 wt % SiO2.
This includes basalt, trachybasalt, basaltic trachyandesite (in part), phonotephrite (in part), foidite (in part) and tephriphonolite (in part).
These rocks are usually dark coloured and fine grained and typically described as basalt if not analysed.
