dacite
dacite A light-coloured, fine-grained
igneous rock containing 63–70 wt.% SiO
2, as well as
plagioclase feldspar,
alkali feldspar,
quartz,
biotite, and
hornblende as
essential minerals, and
sphene,
apatite, and
magnetite as
accessory minerals. Plagioclase feldspar dominates over alkali feldspar in a 2:1 ratio. Dacites are the volcanic equivalents of
granodiorites and are found as members of the
calc-alkaline series, typically developed as eruptive products on the continental side of oceanic-continental
plate subduction zones. They are often surprisingly coarse-grained for lavas.
