Extract

A case is described of rhythmic banding by iron oxide in a rhyolitic tuff. The fine-grained tuff has acted as a medium for the production of Liesegang rings, the irregularity in the rings being ascribed to minute variations in the texture of the rock, naturally less homogeneous than a gel.
