The S-type Strathbogie Granite crops out in the Strathbogie Ranges of Australia. A hand sample from the Strathbogie Granite has a porphyritic texture with larger crystal of grey quartz, called phenocrysts, set in a finer grain matrix of quartz and feldspar. The darker, prismatic, phenocrysts in this sample of the Strathbogie Granite are cordierite.
I-type granites, like other granite types, can vary in crystal size from aphanitic to phaneritic; crystal size distributions include porphyritic, seriate, and rarely equigranular textures. Like other granites, phenocrysts in I-type granites are commonly feldspars, but can also be hornblende .
Computer Gaming World in April 1994 said that "SubWar 2050 is a product with an identity crisis. It wants to incorporate sophisticated physical models of the type you'd expect from a true simulation, and yet it wants to have an action game's visuals and pace", citing its including thermal layers, making them "largely irrelevant" with visual-oriented combat, then only providing unsophisticated ...
It is a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of granite approximately 180 m (590 ft) high. [ 2 ] According to the ancient Sri Lankan chronicle the Cūḷavaṃsa , this area was a large forest, then after storms and landslides it became a hill and was selected by King Kashyapa (AD 477–495 ...
It is a favorite collecting area for amateur and serious rock hounds. Scientists from around the world come to Colorado to study the minerals of this region. Because the granite covers a large portion of the Colorado Front Range, there are good mineral collecting areas scattered all over the Pikes Peak region. The collecting localities range ...
The original name for this phenomenon was defined by Sederholm (1923) [24] as a rock with "fragments of older rock cemented by granite", and was regarded by him to be a type of migmatite. There is a close connection between migmatites and the occurrence of ‘explosion breccias’ in schists and phyllites adjacent to diorite and granite intrusions.
