Summary

[edit]
Description

Phonolite from the Eocene of Montana, USA.

Phonolite is a highly alkaline, intermediate to mafic, finely-crystalline, extrusive igneous rock - it is a scarce type of volcanic lava. This sample has augite pyroxene, olivine, analcime, and leucite. The white areas are zeolite-filled, flow-aligned vesicles. The zeolites here are thompsonite and phillipsite.

Age: Ypresian Stage, Early Eocene, 50-54 Ma

Locality: roadcut & cliff along Beaver Creek Road (= Route 234), 1.2 miles south of Eagle Rock & 2.9 miles north of the Beaver Creek Road-Sucker Creek Road intersection & 4.5 miles south of the northern boundary of Beaver Creek County Park & 16.5 miles south of Havre, Bearpaw Mountains, southeastern Hill County, northern Montana, USA
