Les bancs de grès résistent mieux à l'assimilation. Leur digestion conduit à des leptynites mais ils subsistent fréquemment sous forme d'enclaves de quartzite [...] Lacroix a qualifié d'énallogènes les enclaves de ce type pour les distinguer des enclaves homéogènes dues à des différences locales de la composition des magmas sans intervention des roches encaissantes. 5, record 1, French, - x%C3%A9nolite
