CONT

Comme les enclaves microgrenues ressemblent nettement aux roches qu'on observe en bordure de certains massifs, on peut penser qu'elles représentent, à l'intérieur du granite, les reliques de vieux faciès de bordure ayant cristallisé au cours d'étapes intermédiaires de la mise en place du granite et qui ont, par la suite, été disloquées.
