Types of Igneous Cumulates
Department of Geology and Mineralogy Oxford, England
ABSTRACT
The term cumulate is proposed as a group name for igneous rocks formed by crystal accumulation. After accumulation of the crystal precipitate, various ways of completing the crystallization process lead to differences in the rock finally produced. The various types of cumulates which have so far been distinguished are briefly described.
