2108	MZGAB	Monzogabbro - A type of gabbroic-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a coarse-grained crystalline igneous rock whose mineral mode plots in field 9 of the quartz - alkali feldspar - plagioclase - feldspathoid (QAPF) diagram. Monzodiorite and monzogabbro are separated according to the average composition of their plagioclase: if An (the anorthite content of plagioclase) is greater than 50% the rock is monzogabbro.
