basic front: In granitization, an advancing zone enriched in calcium, magnesium, and iron, that is said to represent those elements in the rock being granitized that are in excess of those required to form granite. During granitization, these elements are believed to be displaced and moved through the rock ahead of the granitization front, to form a zone enriched in minerals such as hornblende and pyroxene.  2, record 1, English, - front%20of%20granitization

[...] une roche granitique [...] peut se former par remplacement de roches très variées, mais elle [...] refoule en dehors du front de granitisation les éléments chimiques qu'elle n’ accepte pas. Ainsi prennent naissance : les concentrations mélanocrates(fronts basiques), les gîtes pyrométasomatiques, les concentrations d’étain [...]  3, record 2, French, - front%20basique

Highly metamorphosed Archean and Aphebian rocks have been recognized within Grenville Province because the Kenoran and Hudsonian folded belts are truncated by the Grenville Front and it is possible that rocks of the older orogenic belts may extend well into Grenville Province.  2, record 3, English, - metamorphosed

The structure of the rocks forming the shield areas are extremely complicated, consisting mainly of intensely folded, highly metamorphosed rocks. In some shield areas the association of granitic gneisses with metamorphosed basaltic lavas (greenstones) is characteristic.  5, record 3, English, - metamorphosed

[Le front de mobilisation] est donc discordant sur le plan zonéographique et, d’une manière plus générale, la granitisation vellave paraît être un événement relativement tardif, qui, limité à la catazone, a affecté des formations déjà métamorphisées.  2, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9tamorphis%C3%A9
