Teziutlán andesite unit (1.44–2.65 Ma) | LH8–LH12 | dark gray; vesicular matrix, pores with 1–5 mm in diameter, relatively few phenocrysts ~ 0.5 × 1 mm in size; plagioclase, pyroxene, olivine, magnetite, ilmenite |
LH13–LH17 | medium gray; nonporous, occasionally fractured, porphyritic to glomerophyric texture with abundant, irregularly distributed subhedral to euhedral plagioclase phenocrysts (up to 10 mm long); plagioclase, pyroxene, magnetite, occasionally olivine | |
LH29–LH30 | medium gray; few pores 1 to 3 mm in diameter, porphyritic to glomerophyric texture with comparatively few, unequally distributed phenocrysts with a size ranging between < 1 mm and 10 mm; plagioclase, pyroxene, olivine, some altered olivine in LH29 | |
RLM1–RLM3 | brownish–gray; RLM1 and RLM2: nonporous, RLM3: few pores with a diameter of < 1 mm to 2 mm partially plugged with secondary alteration minerals, fine cracks, and fissures with alteration rims along these cracks, porphyritic with large phenocrysts (up to 2–5 mm long); plagioclase, pyroxene (augite), olivine, magnetite | |
RLM9 | dark gray; nonporous, fractured, porphyritic texture comprising relatively large plagioclase phenocrysts that are up to 10Â mm long; plagioclase, pyroxene, magnetite | |
Cuyoaco andesite unit (8.9–10.5 Ma) | LH33–LH35 | medium gray; nonporous, porphyritic to glomerophyric texture with comparatively few and irregularly distributed subhedral to euhedral plagioclase phenocrysts (up to 10 mm long) as well as augite and olivine |
