Poikiloblast

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A poikiloblast is a porphyroblast mineral with small inclusions of the previous rock in it.[1] From the texture (if any) shown in the inclusion, the deformation history of the rock can be interpreted, as the inclusions are always older than the porphyroblast.
