Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Fiamme are lens-shaped, usually mm to cm in size, seen on surfaces of some volcaniclastic rocks. They can occur in welded pyroclastic fall deposits and in ignimbrites, which are the deposits of pumiceous pyroclastic density currents.  3, record 2, English, - fiamme

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS

The pumice clasts, which are in a hot, plastic state when deposited from the pyroclastic flow, are compressed and flattened by the weight of the overlying ignimbrite body, producing elongated glassy clasts with ragged, flame-like ends ... Many fiamme clasts continue to vesiculate after formation, leading to the development of spherical vesicles within them.  2, record 2, English, - fiamme
