Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Une certaine masse de magma définit une chambre magmatique, siège de phénomènes complexes : déplacement de fluides, réactions chimiques avec les roches encaissantes(assimilation ou contamination), solidification qui peut se faire progressivement par cristallisation fractionnée, entraînant la formation de certains minéraux qui se trouvent ainsi pris au sein d’un magma résiduel dont la composition chimique diffère alors de celle du magma originel. 6, record 1, French, - chambre%20magmatique

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 2, French, - x%C3%A9nolite

Des fragments de roches composées d’amphibole, de biotite, de feldspath (orthose perthitique) et de petits cristaux d’albite sont connus dans le granite de Flamanville, là où il possède une structure planaire. Ce sont des fragments d’amphibolite, roche métamorphique, dont on reconnaît la structure feuilletée. Dans ce cas, il s’agit de blocs raclés par la masse visqueuse au cours de son ascension et orientés selon des plans de progression. 2, record 2, French, - x%C3%A9nolite
