basin Explanation: A possibility is ‘basin’ (or ‘structural basin’) although I am not a geologist. Take a look at these examples: “…the petrological characteristics of the backarc basin peridotites…” http://wwwsoc.nii.ac.jp/jepsjmo/cd-rom/2002cd-rom/pdf/j034/j... “The Monte Maggiore peridotite represents subcontinental mantle that underwent tectonic and magmatic evolution during the rifting stage of the Jurassic Ligurian Tethys oceanic basin.” http://sp.lyellcollection.org/content/337/1/7.abstract |

| corpo body Explanation: a pyroxinate body... Afrikanda. The first locality visited in the Kola Peninsula was Afrikanda, which was of considerable interest to the mineral collector. A pyroxenite body with segregations of titaniferous ores cutting the preCambrian schists is associated with alkaline pegmatites. Within recent years literally kilometers of trenches from one to three meters deep have been dug over an area of about 11.5 square kilometers, and channel samples taken of the bedrock. In this way a fair-sized body of titaniferous magnetite has been developed, although no mining has been done up to the present time. However, in the course of prospecting, a clear picture of the rock relations has been obtained and a score of minerals discovered. All of the exposures visited were those developed by trenching. http://www.minsocam.org/msa/collectors_corner/arc/russia.htm |
