Dolerites

Dolerites are a type of dark, fine-grained igneous rock that is typically found in dikes and sills. They are composed mainly of plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and olivine minerals. Dolerites are known for their uniform texture and often exhibit columnar jointing. These rocks are commonly found in areas of ancient volcanic activity and are a significant component of many geological formations worldwide.
