A xenolith is a piece of rock having a different origin to that of the igneous rock in which it is found.
xenolith
A xenolith is a foreign inclusion in an igneous rock. A xenocryst is a crystal, resembling a phenocryst, in an igneous rock that is foreign to the body of rock in which it occurs. Xenocryst is just more specific, talking only about crystals, whereas a xenolith could be any type of inclusion
A piece of rock embedded in igneous rock is called a xenolith. Xenoliths are typically found in volcanic rocks such as basalt or lava flows.
Xenoliths are formed when a piece of rock detached from its parent mass and is incorporated into molten magma. The xenolith then gets carried to the surface during volcanic eruptions. Once the magma cools and solidifies, the xenolith is preserved within the igneous rock.
There are three syllables. Xen-o-lith.

It is a xenolith.
i dont know thats what im trying to figure out
xenolith
A xenolith is a large piece of country rock that has been broken off and/or surrounded by an igneous intrusion. As the magma intrudes the country rock it may completely surround large pieces. These pieces are then called xenoliths.
That is called a xenolith, which is a rock fragment that becomes surrounded by and trapped within the magma as it rises to the Earth's surface.
