Fine grained igneous rock

Fine grained igneous rock
Aphanitic or porphyritic igneous rock composed of greater than 10 percent groundmass, in which most of the crystals cannot be distinguished with the unaided eye; grainsize is typically less than 1mm. Igneous rocks with 'exotic' composition are excluded from this concept.
