Table 10-1Table 10-1 Common petrographic differences between tholeiitic and alkaline basaltsCommon petrographic differences between tholeiitic and alkaline basalts
Tholeiitic Basalt Alkaline BasaltUsually fine-grained, intergranular Usually fairly coarse, intergranular to ophitic
Groundmass No olivine Olivine common
Clinopyroxene = augite (plus possibly pigeonite) Titaniferous augite (reddish)
Orthopyroxene (hypersthene) common, may rim ol. Orthopyroxene absent
No alkali feldspar Interstitial alkali feldspar or feldspathoid may occur
Interstitial glass and/or quartz common Interstitial glass rare, and quartz absent
Olivine rare, unzoned, and may be partially resorbed Olivine common and zoned
Phenocrysts or show reaction rims of orthopyroxene
Orthopyroxene uncommon Orthopyroxene absent
Early plagioclase common Plagioclase less common, and later in sequence
Clinopyroxene is pale brown augite Clinopyroxene is titaniferous augite, reddish rims
