Rock Classification (As
of June 27, 2020)
Glazner, A.F. et al. (2019): A more informative way to name plutonic rocks. GSA Today, 29, 4-10.
https://www.geosociety.org/gsatoday/science/G384A/article.htm
The IUGS system for rock classification was introduced more than 40 years ago. The authors propose a quantitative modification to the IUGS system that reduces the number of distinct names but more effectively communicates the inherent variability of plutonic rocks.
