Augite Porphyry Facies: Augite porphyry lava (tephrite) is present in a small area ... accompanied by some light-coloured sedimentary and pyroclastic rocks. The augite porphyry is massive, dense, dark brown, and contains characteristic large euhedral augite crystals embedded in a fine-grained matrix. Structures such as columnar jointing, flow breccia, and amygdales are only locally well developed. 2, record 1, English, - augite%20porphyry%20facies
