Peperite information


Peperite at Puy de Crouel in Auvergne, France
Peperite from Cumbria, England. This example was formed during the Ordovician Period and it is of andesitic composition.

A peperite is a type of volcaniclastic rock consisting of sedimentary rock that contains fragments of younger igneous material and is formed when magma comes into contact with wet sediments.[1] The term was originally used to describe rocks from the Limagne region of France,[2] from the similarity in appearance of the granules of dark basalt in the light-coloured limestone to black pepper. Typically the igneous fragments are glassy and show chilled-margins to the sedimentary matrix, distinguishing them from clasts with a sedimentary origin.
