| 1. | Andesites contain quartz and dacites-rhyodacites contain sanidine megacrysts.
|
| 2. | Sanidine is stable at the highest temperatures, and microcline at the lowest.
|
| 3. | Sanidine phenocrysts and augite ( or enstatite ) are found in some samples.
|
| 4. | Sanidine and high albite constitute a solid solution series with intermediate compositions termed anorthoclase.
|
| 5. | Phenocrysts include biotite, Si magmas, while higher Si magmas also contain sanidine.
|
| 6. | The Rosada ignimbrite's main minerals are biotite, quartz, plagioclase and sanidine.
|
| 7. | They are of trachytic appearance, containing phenocysts of sanidine, leucite, augite and biotite.
|
| 8. | Other minerals occurring in the rock include sanidine, andradite, fassaite, leucite and hauyne.
|
| 9. | The Pliocene ignimbrites contain biotite, ilmenite, magnetite, plagioclase, quartz, sanidine and sometimes amphibole.
|
| 10. | They are rich in leucite, but contain also some sanidine and often much nepheline with hauyne or nosean.
