Collaborative Research: Frameworks: Internet of Samples: Toward an Interdisciplinary Cyberinfrastructure for Material Samples
cement
sampled feature is material that binds constituent particles together in a sedimentary rock.
clast
A clast is a fragment of rock or mineral derived from some pre-existing rock or generated by intrabasinal processes that is a part of a sediment
cognate inclusion
autolith
An inclusion in an igneous rock that is interpreted to be genetically related to the enclosing rock.
fluid inclusion
an inclusion that is an opening in a mineral grain containing fluid (liquid or gas).
groundmass
sampled feature is fine-grained to aphanitic material that is interstitial to larger crystals or particles in a sample.
inclusion
sampled feature is an object contained within a larger body of material.
fluid inclusion, xenolith, clast in a sedimentary material.
individual constituent
sampled feature is a single particle or collection of particles that share some characteristic, within or extracted from a larger sample.
mineral separate, point analysis of particular particles
melt inclusion
An inclusion in a mineral grain in an igneous rock that is interpreted to consist of trapped magma from which the igneous rock was formed.
mineral inclusion
An inclusion of a mineral phase contained inside a grain of another mineral.
phenocryst
Sampled feature is a crystal that is significantly larger than surrounding crystals in an igneous rock.
porphyroblast
Sampled feature is a crystal that is significantly larger than surrounding crystals in a metamorphic rock.
rock body
sampled feature is representative of a rock body, i.e. it represents the whole of the sampled body.
Sampled feature part
A sampled feature that is part of a larger sampled feature; Could be improper part (e.g. the whole larger feature)
Earth and Environmental Science extension - Sampled feature role
Terms to categorize the relation of a sampled feature to its context. In the Earth Science realm this is typically relation of sampled feature to a containing rock body or rock body part.

xenolith
An inclusion that is a fragment of pre-existing material that is contained in an igneous rock and unrelated to the magma that formed the rock.
