907 LPODRM  Lamproite, olivine-diopside-richterite-madupitic - A type of lamproite. The term madupitic indicates that the rock contains poikilitic groundmass phlogopite, as opposed to a phlogopite lamproite in which the phlogopite occurs as phenocrysts. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 6.5. Synonym: jumillite.  U  Olivine-diopside-richterite-madupitic lamproite  olivine  diopside  richterite  madupitic  AWEL  17-DEC-04  TMCM  22-FEB-19    Exotic crys'ine rock; fors olivine C 
908 LPST  Lapillistone - A type of pyroclastic-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a pyroclastic-rock in which the average size of more than 75% of the pyroclastic fragments is less than 64 mm. Lapillistone, lapilli-tuff, and tuff are separated according to the relative proportion of lapilli-grade (2 - 64 mm) and ash-grade (<2 mm) fragments: if more than 75% of the fragments are lapilli the rock is lapillistone. It is the consolidated equivalent of lapilli-tephra.

909 LPTPH  Lapilli-tephra - A type of pyroclastic-sediment. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a pyroclastic-sediment in which the average size of more than 75% of the pyroclastic fragments is less than 64 mm. Lapilli-tephra, lapilli-ash, and ash are separated according to the relative proportion of lapilli-grade (2 - 64 mm) and ash-grade (<2 mm) fragments: if more than 75% of the fragments are lapilli the sediment is lapilli-tephra. It is the unconsolidated equivalent of lapillistone.

In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a pyroclastic-rock in which the average size of more than 75% of the pyroclastic fragments is less than 64 mm. Lapillistone, lapilli-tuff, and tuff are separated according to the relative proportion of lapilli-grade (2 - 64 mm) and ash-grade (<2 mm) fragments: if between 25% and 75% of the fragments are lapilli the rock is lapilli-tuff. It is the consolidated equivalent of lapilli-ash.
