WHAT DOES PYROXENITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pyroxenite

Pyroxenite is an ultramafic igneous rock consisting essentially of minerals of the pyroxene group, such as augite and diopside, hypersthene, bronzite or enstatite. They are classified into clinopyroxenites, orthopyroxenites, and the websterites which contain both pyroxenes. Closely allied to this group are the hornblendites, consisting essentially of hornblende and other amphiboles. They are essentially of igneous origin, though some pyroxenites are included in the metamorphic Lewisian complex of Scotland. The pyroxene-rich rocks which result from the contact metamorphism known as hornfel facies have basaltic or siliceous sediment protoliths, and are respectively metabasites and metapelites.

Definition of pyroxenite in the English dictionary

The definition of pyroxenite in the dictionary is a very dark coarse-grained ultrabasic rock consisting entirely of pyroxene minerals.
