Difference between Charnockite and Norite

Charnockite vs. Norite

Charnockite is applied to any orthopyroxene-bearing quartz-feldspar rock, composed mainly of quartz, perthite or antiperthite and orthopyroxene (usually hypersthene) formed at high temperature and pressure, commonly found in granulite facies metamorphic regions, as an end-member of the charnockite series. Norite is a mafic intrusive igneous rock composed largely of the calcium-rich plagioclase labradorite, orthopyroxene, and olivine.

Similarities between Charnockite and Norite

Charnockite and Norite have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Gabbro, Hypersthene, Olivine, Pyroxene.

Gabbro

Gabbro refers to a large group of dark, often phaneritic (coarse-grained), mafic intrusive igneous rocks chemically equivalent to basalt, being its coarse-grained analogue.
