Any of the several forms of emplacement of igneous rocks.

CONT

Among the concordant igneous intrusions are laccoliths, lopoliths, phacoliths, and sills, and the discordant igneous intrusions include batholiths, dikes, and stocks.

CONT

... we divide up igneous intrusions according to whether they are discordant or concordant with the lithological banding(often bedding) in the enclosing rocks.

CONT

Stockworks most commonly occur in acid to intermediate plutonic igneous intrusions ...

CONT

A negative but important point is that [evaporites] are remote from post-host rock igneous intrusives which might be the source for mineralizing solutions.

OBS

As a noun, "intrusive" is generally plural in form.
