  STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Large vesicles and other open voids in brecciated or highly vesicular portions of Units 3 and 4 are commonly filled or partly filled with well indurated, laminated siliceous mudstone (see "Alteration and Weathering").
The orientations of both mesostasis segregations and vesicle trails are consistent throughout the lava pile.
Although some evidence, from the gentle dip of the vesicle trails, the mesostasis segregations, and the included, indurated laminated sediments, suggests slight rotation of the lava flows, the subhorizontal bedding in the intercalated volcaniclastic sediments indicates negligible tectonic tilting.

 Geology of Nova Scotia: A My Nova Scotia Website
The larger crystals (phenocrysts) form at higher temperatures and form slowly, however something changes and the magma solidifies rapidly after the initial phenocrysts are formed, this creates a matrix of finer crystals encompassing the larger phenocrysts.
Vesicles are air/gas bubbles within the magma when it solidifies.
Typically vesicle infilling, the vesicle edges are "soft" and irregular, whereas a phenocryst edges tend top be sharp and straight with respect to the ground mass.

They all took the infection, and either on the fifth or sixth day a vesicle was perceptible on the punctured part.

 Mars Exploration Rovers: One Martian Year of in Situ Planetary Geology II - Planetary Sciences [P]
Apparent vesicularity (ratio of summed vesicle volume from area over rock unit volume) of rocks in the plains lava surface varied with host rock dimension and angularity.
Vesicle distributions in the smaller clasts in the Gusev plains tend to be exponential, typical of upper sections, whereas, dis-tributions in larger, more angular Gusev plains blocks are characterized by hybrid distri-butions, typical of flow interiors.
Since small vesicular clasts are a small fraction of the observed clast population, it is inferred that the upper vesicular zones within the Gusev plains lava flows were rela-tively thin (low vesicularity at shallow depths) compared with that predicted for lava flows on Earth.

 Internal Sand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Originally I thought the lava rock had formed full of holes and that the sand was later deposited in these "holes." But after taking a core sample from the middle of the rock, and some other experiments involving water, I was able to conclude that the rock didn't form that way.
There was a vesicle on one side that was about an inch deep and exactly the same diameter as the copper tubing.
I think this little rock proves that all of the sandy material inside the vesicles of this rock has been there since the lava encased it.

The lava flows host segregation structures such as vesicle cylinders and pods that are assumed associated with emplacement of inflated vapor-rich lavas.
There is an unexpected consistency in texture, modal proportion of phases and degree of olivine alteration between the matrix and vesicle cylinder in the Imnaha basalt.
While both units are considered enriched in water vapor, as shown by the diktytaxitic texture and the presence of segregation structures, they took different paths of post-emplacement differentiation, as noted by the mineralogy of the segregation structures.

The Greenstone occurs locally as vesicle fillings in the Keweenaw basalts and in the "poor rock" piles of the Copper Country.
It is liberated by weathering and worn smooth by the wave action on the beaches of Isle Royale and the Keweenaw Peninsula (Dietrich, 1983).

 VARIATIONS IN INITIAL VESICULARITY OF LATE CENOZOIC BASALTS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Initial vesicularity (the ratio of the volume of gas bubbles to the volume of dense lava equivalent) at a given level within a lava flow is a function of the gas law.
Variations in vesicle dimensions within a lava flow are a function of initial lava flow volatile retention, pressure at the crust-melt interface, and rate of solidification (time available for bubble coalescence).
It is suggested that de-volatilization at fire fountains is the principal control on lava initial vesicularity.

We also recorded the orientation of primary internal structures such as vesicle sheets coalesced into veins and wispy streaks of clay minerals replacing mesostasis.
These features included vesicle sheets, wispy sheets of mesostasis defining a subtle foliation in the lava, and flattened vesicles.
These features commonly develop with a subhorizontal, planar orientation because of flow of magma beneath a solidified upper crust.
