Peperite
A Peperite is a sedimentary rock that contains fragments of igneous material and is formed when magma comes into contact with wet sediments. The term was originally used to describe rocks from the Limagne region of France, from the similarity in appearance of the granules of dark basalt in the light-coloured limestone to black pepper. Typically the igneous fragments are glassy and show chilled-margins to the sedimentary matrix, distinguishing them from clasts with a sedimentary origin.
Terminology
The term has been used to describe a wide variety of rocks that are interpreted to have formed by the interaction between magma and sediments. This usage has led to overlap with other terms such as hyaloclastite. In the most recent edition of 'Igneous rocks' by Le Maître et al. the definition is given as "A local term for a tuff or breccia, formed by the intrusion of magma into wet sediments. Usually consists of glassy fragments of igneous rock and some sedimentary rock", while White (2000) defines peperite as "a genetic term applied to a rock formed essentially in situ by disintegration of magma intruding and mingling with unconsolidated or poorly consolidated, typically wet sediments. The term also refers to similar mixtures generated by the same processes operating at the contacts of lavas and other hot volcaniclastic deposits with such sediments".

Moments Like This
by: B. ReithI was young,
I was told
I should follow my dreams
from my worse broken heart
to a world that just seems
to move on...
Dance with the wind,
now she's gone.
I've been down on my luck
Yeah I've fallen from grace.
I've had beautiful eyes stare me right in the face.
And move on...
Dance with the wind,
now she's gone.
No need to talk about it.
Like it won't happen,
'cause the chances are that it will.
And moments like this will bring you down.
Moments like this will bring you round.
Moments like this will make you strong.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
No more searching for signs
for a song I can sing.
Now I'm living my life
like a bird on a wing.
Movin' on...
Dance with the wind,
feeling strong.
No need to talk about it.
Like it won't happen,
'cause the chances are that it will.
Try not to talk about it,
just get it started.
Don't waste your time standing still.
And moments like this will bring you down.
Moments like this will bring you round.
Moments like this will make you strong.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
And moments like this will bring you down.
Moments like this will bring you round.
Moments like this will make you strong.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
Now that they're gone.
Now they're gone.
If it don't kill you, it makes you strong.
If it don't kill you, it makes you strong.
If it don't kill you, it makes you strong.
