Abstract: Basalts include horizontal sheets of coarser grain. These sheets may be explained by the peculiar melting and crystallizing properties of the rock - in-between 25 and 35% crystalline, basalt has a three-dimensional network of solid crystals that is porous and can be crushed, forcing out the fluid remainder, which could go on to form the coarser-grained layers.
