An introduction to the application of X-ray microtomography to the three-dimensional study of igneous rocks
Imaging rocks in three-dimensions through X-ray microtomography enables routine
visualization of structures in samples, which can be spatially resolved down to the sub …

The role of second phases for controlling microstructural evolution in polymineralic rocks: A review
We present a state-of-the-art review of the microstructural evolution in rocks under static and
deformational conditions. First, the general concepts and processes are introduced using …

Quantifying the building blocks of igneous rocks: are clustered crystal frameworks the foundation?
Most phenocryst populations in volcanic rocks, and those preserved in shallow-level
igneous intrusions, are clustered (variously referred to as clots, clumps or glomerocrysts) …

Understanding crystal populations and their significance through the magma plumbing system
DA Jerram, VM Martin - Geological Society, London, Special …, 2008 - lyellcollection.org
Crystals are rarely composed of a single crystal population that have grown solely from the
batch of magma in which they are resident on emplacement, either by eruption or shallow …

3D analysis of rock textures: quantifying igneous microstructures
An important goal of petrographers is to analyse rock textures (microstructures) and
compositions in three dimensions, and thus fully quantify rock properties (porosity and …
