Abstract
Diorites are mainly of two types—hornblende diorites and biotite diorites having transitions between them. The former possesses panidiomorphic and the latter allotrimorphic texture. Hornblende diorite is considered to be a magmatic rock and the biotite diorite is formed by assimilation of the hornblende diorite by granite magma.
