The general Troctolite and Oil shale definition can be stated as: Troctolite is a mafic intrusive rock type. It consists essentially of major but variable amounts of olivine and calcic plagioclase along with minor pyroxene. It is an olivine-rich anorthosite, or a pyroxene-depleted relative of gabbro. On the other hand, Oil Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock from which oil is extracted.
