Fine grained volcanic rocks containing floating crystals(phenocrysts) of plutonic material are named using the prefix ’phyric'... Where the phenocrysts are large relative to the crystalline matrix of the rock, the rock is called porphyritic. If the crystals cluster together to form petal like aggregates[, ] they are called glomeroporphyritic or glomerophyric.  4, record 1, English, - glomeroporphyritic

compact : A surface-texture term applied to rocks that break along smooth to conchoidal faces and generally have little or no porosity. The term was advocated in a classification of carbonate reservoir rocks by Archie(1952, p. 280) and currently has rather wide usage in this sense. "Compact" is useful as a gross indication of low matrix porosity in a finely textured rock, and seems preferable to the somewhat synonymous term "dense", as it avoids connotations of mass.  2, record 41, English, - compact%20texture
