Minor Intrusions

small independent masses of igneous rock in the form of dikes, stocks, and irregular bodies confined to areas of disruptive tectonic displacement. Minor intrusions are differentiates of deep-seated chambers of basic magma and usually form at the end of periods of intensive magmatic activity. They are composed of porphyritic hybrid rocks that are from basic to acid and alkaline in composition. In many areas minor intrusions are closely associated with deposits of gold, tin, lead, zinc, and copper.

LETTERS IN THE EDITOR'S MAILBAG by The Register-Guard (Eugene, OR) The subject has not been so thoroughly examined since 1970, they say, and could be of interest to igneous petrologists, volcanologists, structural geologists, and petroleum geologists and engineers working in sedimentary basins where minor intrusions contribute to basin architecture or act as hydrocarbon reservoirs or seals.
