Examples from the Vedlozero-Segozero greenstone belt (Central Karelia, Russia)

Textural features are wel preserved on all the Archean and Proterozoic komatiite assemblages studied. You can see on the photo that massive, differentiated and variolitic lava flows and tuffs varying in size from pelitic to agglomerate are clearly distinguishable.
