Felsite and Monzogranite

1 Definition
1.1 Definition
Felsite is a very fine grained volcanic rock that may or may not contain larger crystals and light colored rock that typically requires petrographic examination or chemical analysis for more precise definition
Monzogranite is a type of igneous rock and belongs to biotite granite rocks that are considered to be the final fractionation product of magma

5.1 Formation
Felsite is a fine-grained, hard rock which is a type of metasomatite, essentially altered basalt. It forms with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive rocks or on the surface as extrusive rocks.
