岩株(英语:Stock(geology))在地质学中,是指露出地表小于 100 平方公里(40 平方英里)的侵入火成岩[1][2]。它与岩磐成因相似但比岩磐规模小。岩株与其侵入的岩石之间的接触是不整合面。 许多岩株是埋在地下岩磐的的露出的圆顶。[3]。圆形或椭圆形的岩株可能是火山栓的顶[4] [5]。Boss是指小岩株[6]

一个三叠纪岩株,由nordmarkite (堿性石英正长岩) 组成, 位于 Gevanim Valley, Makhtesh Ramon, 以色列南部.

岩株是由在地壳深处的岩浆冷却形成。 主要由长英质火成岩石类型组成,例如花岗岩、石英二长岩或闪长岩[7]

形成

岩株的表面看起来很均匀的,但是有复杂的演化历史和结构成分。它们可由多个、不同尺寸(通常至少数公里)的火成岩体组成。需要经过年龄、成分、纹理或结构的分析,才能在其内部划分不同岩石区块。每个岩石区块都是单独从的侵入岩浆凝固而成的火成岩。

这些深成火成岩体是岩浆形成底辟上升而造成的。因为岩浆底辟是液态的并且非常热,由于浮力让它们穿过周围岩石而上升。大多数岩浆底辟不会到达地表而形成火山,通常是在地下 5 至 30 公里处,冷却凝固为深成火成岩。另一种观点认为,深成火成岩岩体不是由大型岩浆底辟的上升形成的,而是由较小体积的岩脉聚集而成的[8]

实例

犹他州帕克城附近的阿尔塔和克莱顿峰岩株(由花岗闪长岩组成)[9]

加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省的 Hellroaring Creek 和 Salal Creek 岩株(分别为花岗岩-花岗闪长岩和石英二长岩[10][11]

法国比利牛斯-东方的 Céret 岩株(辉长岩和闪长岩[12]

哥伦比亚 La Guajira 省的 Parashi 岩株(tonalite[13]

大加那利岛 Caldera de Tejeda 的正长岩岩株[14]

在苏格兰的艾尔萨克雷格花岗岩小岩株,是一个火山栓[5]
