Trachyandesite

Japanese: 粗面安山岩 - そめんあんざんがん(英語表記)trachyandesite
Trachyandesite

It is an alkaline volcanic rock with a chemical composition between andesite and trachyte, and contains relatively large amounts of potassium. It is also called latite. It consists of roughly equal amounts of potassium feldspar and plagioclase (andesine-oligoclase) phenocrysts, and a groundmass of fine, parallel-arranged strips of feldspar. It may contain olivine, augite, and alkali feldspar as phenocrysts. The groundmass consists of alkali feldspar and small amounts of plagioclase, magnetite, ilmenite, biotite, olivine, titanium-rich augite, aegirine augite, and glass.
