sudburite
An augite-bearing hypersthene basalt characterized by pillow structure and containing bytownite and magnetite. It differs from normal basalts in containing neither glass nor olivine and in having an equigranular texture (Johannsen, 1937). Its name, given by Coleman in 1914, is derived from the Sudbury District, ON, Canada. Not recommended usage.
