groundmass
groundmass The finer-grained material of
igneous rocks in which larger crystals (
phenocrysts) and
xenoliths are enclosed. The groundmass of an igneous rock commonly represents that part of the
magma system which has cooled rapidly. Rapid cooling initiates numerous crystal
nucleation sites which limit the size to which crystals can grow. In
lavas, the fine ground-mass is formed when the magma is erupted on to the Earth's surface and is cooled rapidly by air convection over the flow. Compare
MATRIX.
