Troctolite and Talc carbonate Definition

Definition of Troctolite and Talc carbonate

The general Troctolite and Talc carbonate 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, Talc carbonate is nothing but a rock sequence or a mineral composition found in metamorphic ultramafic rocks..
