Zusammenfassung

Die IUGS hat eine Subcommission on the Systematics of Igneous Rocks gebildet mit dem Auftrag, Klassifikation und Nomenklatur der Eruptivgesteine zu überprüfen und ihr entsprechende Vorschläge vorzulegen. Die Subcommission hat sich zunächst mit Tiefengesteinen befaßt. Sie unterbreitet hier eine kurze Zusammenfassung der Empfehlungen für Plutonite, denen sie bei ihrer Sitzung in Montreal (August 1972) zugestimmt hat. Eine ausführlichere Darstellung ist in Vorbereitung.

Abstract

The IUGS Subcommission on the Systematics of Igneous Rocks has been formed in order to review classification and nomenclature of igneous rocks and to present proposals to IUGS. Up to the present, the Subcommission has been concerned with plutonic rocks. This paper presents a summary of the recommendations on plutonic rocks to which the Subcommission has agreed at its meeting of Montreal, August 1972. A report that will contain fuller treatment is in preparation.
