Chris Ellison Nov 21, 2008:
crysts not crystals NB: "phenocrysts" not "phenocrystals" is the correct terminology.

disagree Michele Fauble : This is simply wrong. "with plagioclase phenocrysts in a quartz-feldspar microgranular matrix"/ "... matriz microgranular compuesta por feldespatos y cuarzo"

Where do you get "quartz-feldspar" from? this part was not in the actual query.
disagree Chris Ellison : This is wrong, Liz, the phenocrysts (not crystals) are big crystals in the finer matrix!

agree Enrique Espinosa : Yes, plagioclase phenocrystals are into or surrounded by a quartz-feldspar microgranular matrix

Yes, exactly my understanding - thanks
agree Chris Ellison : Enrique is right "placioclase phenocrysts" is better. The "of" is very Spanglish ;)

neutral liz askew : Have changed the glossary entry..what a palaver.

'fenos de plagioclase' = 'plagioclase phenocrysts', 'en matriz microgranular compuesta por feldespatos y cuarzo' = 'in a quartz-feldspar microgranular matrix' - the matrix is not composed of plagioclase phenocrysts; these are embedded in the matrix.
