Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) image of a small zone of altered sample 15.142 showing a total replacement of primary volcanic minerals and groundmass by K-phyllosilicates. Crystallization of K-phyllosilicates is posterior to the development of microfractures as they partially bond them. Intercrystalline porosity is also encountered between K-phyllosilicate crystallites
