CONT

Les granites habituels sont des granites «subsolvus», dont le feldspath potassique et le plagioclase ont cristallisé séparément au-dessous de la température du solvus orthose-albite. Leur cristallisation s'est donc poursuivie à température plus basse que dans le cas [des granites hypersolvus].
