“This is based on preservation of original gabbroic textures and occurrence of intergranular coesite in UHP rocks.”

“This magmatism is typically of gabbroic to granitic composition and also shows evidence of mixed sedimentary and mantle-like sources.”

“Metasomatic anorthosite formed by replacement of layered gabbroic troctolite in the Skaergaard intrusion is shown here.”

“The enclaves in the mentioned basaltoids represent peridotites, pyroxenites and gabbroid rocks.”

“Hess's hypothesis on the serpentinite composition of the lower oceanic crust was confirmed by serpentinite and gabbroid fragments dredged from some fracture zones.”

“Unit G is composed of sparsely to moderately porphyritic basalt, with gabbroid xenoliths, plagioclase glomerocrysts and olivine microphenocrysts.”
