Leucogranite

Leucogranite

En géologie, les leucogranites sont parmi les plus jeunes roches intrusives sur terre liées au phénomène d'anatexie dans la croûte continentale. On les trouve le plus souvent dans les séquences de grauwacke qui ont été basculées durant les collisions continentales. Ils sont nombreux par exemple dans l'Himalaya.
