LAVA/SEDIMENT INTERACTION RESULTED IN A PEPERITE TEXTURE: AN EXAMPLE FROM BOLNISI DISTRICT, GEORGIA

A thin layer of carbonate breccia, with limestone fragments in a red clay and calcite matrix, lies between Pliocene-Pleistocene basaltic lava and Danian limestones. Rare basaltic pieces suggest peperite formation due to lava interaction with wet breccia, with fluidal shapes from ductile deformation. This interaction varied with water saturation.

Abstract

A thin layer of carbonate breccia, with limestone fragments in a red clay and calcite matrix, lies between Pliocene-Pleistocene basaltic lava and Danian limestones. Rare basaltic pieces suggest peperite formation due to lava interaction with wet breccia, with fluidal shapes from ductile deformation. This interaction varied with water saturation.
