2. Quartz monzonite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_monzonite

   Quartz monzonite. Quartz monzonite is an intrusive, felsic, igneous rock that has an approximately equal proportion of orthoclase and plagioclase feldspars. It is typically a light colored phaneritic (coarse-grained) to porphyritic granitic rock. The plagioclase is typically intermediate to sodic in composition, andesine to oligoclase.

4. Guilford Quartz Monzonite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilford_Quartz_Monzonite

   A. A. Drake argued that the Guilford is of Ordovician age [5] because it is probably comagmatic with the Woodstock Quartz Monzonite dated at 444 Ma. An earlier source gives the date of 420 +/-50 Ma. [6] More recently, radiometric dating (U-Pb-TIMS) of zircon crystals extracted from the Guilford Quartz Monzonite yielded an age of 362 +/- 3 Ma .

5. Quartzite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartzite

   Quartzite. Quartzite is a hard, non- foliated metamorphic rock which was originally pure quartz sandstone. [1][2] Sandstone is converted into quartzite through heating and pressure usually related to tectonic compression within orogenic belts. Pure quartzite is usually white to grey, though quartzites often occur in various shades of pink and ...

6. Quartz - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz

   Quartz is, therefore, classified structurally as a framework silicate mineral and compositionally as an oxide mineral. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth's continental crust, behind feldspar. [10] Quartz exists in two forms, the normal α-quartz and the high-temperature β-quartz, both of which are chiral. The transformation ...

7. Quartz latite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_latite

   Quartz latite is the fine-grained equivalent of a quartz monzonite, containing approximately equal amounts of plagioclase and alkali feldspar and between 5% and 20% quartz and with plagioclase making up 35% to 65% of its total feldspar content. Quartz latite is not a recognized rock type in the TAS classification used to chemically classify ...

8. Granite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granite

   Granite (/ ˈ ɡ r æ n ɪ t / GRAN-it) is a coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock composed mostly of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase.It forms from magma with a high content of silica and alkali metal oxides that slowly cools and solidifies underground.

9. Quartz monzogabbro - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_monzogabbro

   Quartz monzogabbro is an intrusive rock intermediate between quartz gabbro and quartz monzonite. Under the QAPF classification , it is an intrusive rock in which quartz makes up 5% to 20% of the QAPF mineral fraction, plagioclase makes up 65% to 90% of the total feldspar content, and the plagioclase is calcium-rich (% An > 50).
