Ethmolite

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An ethmolite or funnel plutonite ( gr . Ἠθμός (ethmos) - sieve, λίθος (lithos) - stone) is a downwardly tapering, sub-volcanic igneous body , which was formed at a greater depth. The term was in 1903 by Wilhelm Salomon in describing the Adamello - Stocks coined. The boundaries of the pluton against the host rock are blurred and fluid.

Examples of ethmolites can be found next to the Adamello at Peekskill near New York .
