Poikiloblast
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
A poikiloblast is a porphyroblast mineral with small inclusions of the previous rock in it. From the texture (if any) shown in the inclusion, the deformation history of the rock can be interpreted, as the inclusions are always older than the porphyroblast.
