Les "phonolithes" sont les équivalents des syénites non saturées à feldspathoïdes et l'on distingue les "phonolithes éléolithiques" [...] et les "phonolithes leucitiques". Lorsque le feldspathoïde l'emporte de beaucoup sur le feldspath, les premières deviennent des "néphélinites", les secondes des "leucitites". Si le feldspathoïde est accompagné d'olivine, on a le basalte néphélinique et le basalte leucitique. 1, record 2, French, - basalte%20leucitique
