Igneous rocks containing mostly plagioclase feldspar and a significant percentage of dark silicate minerals are typically classified as basaltic rocks. These rocks have a composition that is intermediate between mafic and felsic rocks, with a silica content of around 50-60%. Basaltic rocks often form from the solidification of magma with a basaltic composition.
