Sentences with TONALITE (3)
Orthoclase is rarely entirely absent, and when it is fairly common the rock becomes a tonalite; in this way a transition is furnished between diorites and granites.
Among varietal designations given to rocks of the diorite family are "banatite" for an augite-diorite with or without quartz (from the Schemnitz district), "granodiorite" for a quartz-hornblende-diorite (essentially the same as tonalite) from California, &c., "adamellite" for the quartz-mica-diorite or tonalite of Monte Adamello (Alps), "ornite" for a hornblende-diorite rich in felspar, from Sweden.
TONALITE, t[=o]'nal-[=i]t, _n._ an igneous rock having a granitic structure, and composed essentially of plagioclase, biolite, and quartzite.
