2395 QAFTR  Quartz-alkali-feldspar-trachyte - A type of trachytic-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, this name is used for a fine-grained crystalline igneous rock when the modal mineralogy is available, and the mineral mode plots in field 6* of the quartz - alkali feldspar - plagioclase - feldspathoid (QAPF) diagram.

Quartz-diorite, quartz-gabbro and quartz-anorthosite are separated according to the average composition of their plagioclase and the proportion of mafic minerals (M): if M is less than 10% the rock is quartz-anorthosite. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 5.1 and figs. 9, 11, 12.  Quartz-anorthosite          GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  22-FEB-19    Coarse-grained, av. between 2-16mm normal crystalline intrusive rock; CI M<10%; quartz 5-20% of QAPF, feldspar (dominant) >90% plagioclase, +/- mica/pyroxene/amphibole/olivine

In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a coarse-grained crystalline igneous rock whose mineral mode plots in field 10* of the quartz - alkali feldspar - plagioclase - feldspathoid (QAPF) diagram. Quartz-diorite, quartz-gabbro and quartz-anorthosite are separated according to the average composition of their plagioclase and the proportion of mafic minerals (M): if M is greater than 10% and An (the anorthite content of plagioclase) is less than 50% the rock is quartz-diorite.
