    Upper diagram: Classification of pyroclastic rocks. pyroclastic means magma generated rock through volcanic process. Ash, Lapilli and Block/Bomb are types of material found as volcanic fragments. Tuff- Pyroclastic rock containing greater than 75% ash material Lapilli stone- Pyroclastic rock containing greater than 75% Lapilli material Agglomerate- Pyroclastic rock containing greater than 75% Blocks/Bombs Tuff Breccia- Pyroclastic rock containing greater than 25% Blocks/Bombs and less than 75% Blocks/Bombs Lapilli Tuff- Pyroclastic rock with less than 25% Bombs/Blocks Bombs are spherical where blocks are angular. Lower diagram: Classification of carbonatite rocks. Calciocarbonatite- Carbonate rock with greater than 80% CaO Ferrocarbonatite- Carbonate rock with greater than 50% FeO+Fe2O3+MnO and less than 80% CaO Magnesiocarbonatite- Carbonate rock with greater than 50% MgO and less than 80% CaO.
