magmaticsedimentary
Magmaticsedimentary is a term used in geology to describe rocks or rock sequences that display evidence of both magmatic (igneous) and sedimentary processes in their history. The term is not widely standardized and may appear in discussions of integrated crustal evolution or niche studies of basin magmatism. In practice, magmaticsedimentary assemblages are typically interpreted as sedimentary rocks that incorporate magmatic material or as volcaniclastic deposits that have undergone subsequent diagenesis, cementation, or metamorphic overprint.
Magmaticsedimentary rocks can form when volcanic or igneous material is deposited within a sedimentary environment, producing
Magmaticsedimentary concepts are often applied in regions with episodic volcanic activity adjacent to sedimentary basins, such
