The Role of TTGs. After more than 35 years of TTG (tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite) research, we still face many questions about the origin and tectonic significance of these peculiar rocks (Condie, 2014; Moyen, 2011). What we do know is that they are an important component in …

Sometimes mistakenly used as synonymous with quartz diorite. The rock contains essential quartz, and plagioclase feldspar, usually andesine, with accessory mafics such as biotite, hornblende, and/ or pyroxene and sometimes accessory orthoclase. In the IUGS classification tonalite contains 20 - 60 Q, and P/(A + P) >90. Tonalite corresponds to

I. Haapala, O.T. Rämö, in Mineral Deposits of Finland, 2015 Mätäsvaara Mo Deposit. The Mätäsvaara Mo deposit is associated with a Neoarchean tonalite gneiss and microcline granite. The ore is composed of molybdenite-bearing quartz and pegmatite veins and impregnations in the contact zone of the tonalite gneiss and granite, forming a ∼1–30-m-wide and 800-m-long northwest-trending ore ...

Most tonalite also has abundant dark minerals, but this example is almost white (leucocratic), making it a plagiogranite. Trondhjemite is a plagiogranite whose dark mineral is biotite. This specimen's dark mineral is pyroxene, so it's plain old tonalite. An extrusive rock with the composition of tonalite is classified as dacite.

The resulting rocks are either foliated, with a parallel alignment or planar segregation of their constituent minerals, or non-foliated. Metamorphic rocks used by the ancient Egyptians include: anorthosite gneiss and tonalite gneiss (foliated); and marble, metaconglomerate, metagabbro, metagraywacke, serpentinite, and steatite (non-foliated).

Granodiorite () is similar to granite but contains about twice as much plagioclase as potassium feldspar.Tonalite contains even less potassium feldspar. In addition to quartz and feldspar, dark minerals, such as hornblende and biotite, further characterize individual plutonic-rock types, as is commonly indicated with modified names, such as hornblende granodiorite and biotite granodiorite.

Yosemite National Park, located in the central part of California's Sierra Nevada mountains, is a glacially carved landscape filled with iconic rock formations such as Cathedral Peak, El Capitan, and Half Dome. Igneous rocks, consisting primarily of variations of granite, granodiorite, and tonalite, make up the majority of the bedrock geology and their overall strength supports the ...

Tonalite is an igneous, plutonic rock, of felsic composition, with phaneritic texture. Feldspar is present as plagioclase (typically oligoclase or andesine) with 10% or less alkali feldspar. Quartz is present as more than 20% of the rock. Amphiboles and pyroxenes are common accessory minerals.. In older references tonalite is sometimes used …

Diorite is an intrusive igneous rock of intermediate composition. Uses of Diorite. In areas where diorite occurs near the surface, it is sometimes mined for use as a crushed stone.It has a durability that compares favorably to granite and trap rock.It is used as a base material in the construction of roads, buildings, and parking areas.

Granite, granodiorite, tonalite, quartz monzonite, and quartz monzodiorite are all forms of plutonic rock that are found in Yosemite, and are loosely referred to as granitic rocks. Quartz diorite, diorite and gabbro are plutonic rocks found in Yosemite, but are not technically considered to be granitic rocks.

Pop/rock tonality that draws on diatonic modes. Much pop/rock music draws not (only) on the classical major/minor system, but also on diatonic modes. These are not the modes as used in the Medieval Christian church, but the diatonic modes common in Western (especially English and Celtic) folk music.

For phaneritic felsic rocks, the QAPF diagram should be used, and a name given according to the granite nomenclature. Often the species of mafic minerals is included in the name, for instance, hornblende-bearing granite, pyroxene tonalite or augite megacrystic monzonite, because the term "granite" already assumes content with feldspar and quartz.
