Laccolith (English spelling)

Laccolith (English spelling)
Also called "Heiban". A type of intrusion style or form of igneous rock, it refers to a conformal intrusion that bulges upward like a rice cake offered to a shrine. During this intrusion, the upper layer of the strata is pushed up by magma. A rapidly cooled marginal phase develops where it contacts the parent rock, and its interior consists of coarse-grained rocks. Rocks rich in heavy minerals such as olivine and pyroxene may develop in layers in the lower part of the rock body. It is formed in places where the strata are not subject to too much drastic movement.
