Sample Description

Basanite is an igneous, volcanic (extrusive) rock with aphanitic to porphyritic texture. It is composed mostly of feldspathoids, pyroxenes, olivine, and plagioclase and forms from magma low in silica and enriched in alkali metal oxides that solidifies rapidly close to the Earth's surface. Both tephrites and basanites vary in color from gray to black. They are characteristically porphyritic with a very fine-grained groundmass.

Locality Description

"In the Myanmar Central Basin positive inversion is recorded by terrestrial deposits of the Late Miocene–Pliocene syn-inversion Irrawaddy Group (Bender 1983). North of Singu the Sagaing Fault bends and steps to the right and cuts a complex path through the Singu basalt plateau which was emplaced as a 100 m thick series of flows overlying the Mio-Pliocene Irrawaddy Group."
