Ignimbrites are made of a very poorly sorted mixture of volcanic ash (or tuff when lithified) and pumice lapilli, commonly with scattered lithic fragments. The ash is composed of glass shards and crystal fragments. Ignimbrites may be loose and unconsolidated or lithified (solidified) rock called lapilli-tuff. Proximal to the volcanic source, ignimbrites commonly contain thick accumulations of lithic blocks, and distally, many...
