Charnockites (orthopyroxene-bearing granitoids) constitute one of the major components in many Precambrian high-grade metamorphic terranes of the world. They are broadly classified into two types based on the nature of occurrence as massive charnockite that forms large (magmatic) batholiths, and inc...
