橄长岩

橄长岩
火成岩
	阿波罗 17 着陆点的橄长岩76535
成分
	橄榄石, 钙质斜长石, 及少量辉石

橄长岩（英语：Troctolite）是一种镁铁质侵入岩类型。它主要由变量的橄榄石和钙质斜长石以及少量辉石组成。它是富含橄榄石的斜长岩，或贫辉石的辉长岩。然而，与辉长岩不同的是，当橄榄岩进行部分熔融时，其成分上和和橄长岩不同。因此，橄长岩必然是从熔体中分离出来的火成堆积岩 ^[1]。

产状

橄长岩通常产于层状侵入岩中，例如西澳大利亚太古宙 Windimurra 侵入体、拉布拉多北部的 Voisey's Bay 镍-铜-钴岩浆硫化物矿床^[2]，蒙大拿州斯蒂尔沃特火成岩复合体、北美德卢斯复合体 Midcontinent Rift^[3],和苏格兰 Rùm 岛的第三纪朗姆层状侵入岩 ^[4]。在南非 Bushveld 火成岩复合体的 Merensky 礁和康沃尔的Lizard复合体中也发现了橄长岩^[5]。
