Cryptoachneliths, perceptible by means of electron microscopy but unresolved under the optical microscope, occur unnoticed inside spheroidal lapilli of ultrabasic composition of the Cabezo Segura volcano (Calatrava volcanic province, Spain). The cryptoachneliths are glassy spherical particles that have compositions of Alrich silicate with minor amounts of Fe, Ca and other elements. The smallest cryptoachneliths of < 1 mu m in diameter (nanoachneliths) joined by coalescence to form microspheres > 1 mu m (microachneliths) and homogeneous less regular masses of similar composition. Nano and microachneliths welded each other or to other types of volcanic particles (crystals, crystal fragments, spinning droplets, cognate lithic clasts, etc.) to form spheroidal lapilli and even bomb size clasts within proximal fall deposits of the Cabezo Segura volcano. The welding processes took place inside the eruptive column, previous to the fall of the spheroidal lapilli on top of the volcanic cone. The presence of the cryptoachneliths implies that lapilli and even bomb size tephra within deposits formed during explosive eruptions of low-viscosity basic to ultrabasic magmas should be carefully examined in order to establish key parameters of eruption dynamics, like size, amount and distribution of juvenile fine particles.
