Kuxin-laba

Kuxin-laba edo pillow-laba arroka mota bat da, kuxin edo zaku gisa sortzen dena, laba ozeano, laku sakon edo glaziar baten barruan urez betetako barrunbe baten hondora ateratzen denean.^[1] Kuxin-labak normalean basaltoz osatuta daude, baina komatita, pikrita, boninita, andesita, andesita basaltiko eta baita dazitazko "kuxinak" ere ezagutzen dira.^[2][3][4] Oro har, konposizioak kuxinen tamainari eragiten dio, labaren biskositatea aldatzen baitu.
