Toward noon, the doctor, for the purpose of burying the body, decided to descend into a ravine, in the midst of some plutonic rocks of primitive formation.

(Comprised of course-grained plutonic rock, mostly feldspar and quartz, some with granite.) Then work would commence on the stage (30 X 40 feet, four feet above the ground), dressing rooms, flooring, and accessories.

For a case study we choose a compressive test of an igneous plutonic rock. The compressive tests of the rock were done 5 times on specimens having the layered texture perpendicular to the direction of applied force (F) and 5 times on specimens having layered texture parallel with F.

The structure of the Ossa-Morena Zone has been determined primarily by the Variscian orogeny phases that affected the Precambrian and Palaeozoic basement and consists of metamorphic and plutonic rock units.

These containers would be placed in a vault excavated 500 to 1000 meters below the surface of the Canadian Shield in plutonic rock. Each container would be surrounded by a buffer material and, when the facility is full, the vault and all tunnels and shafts leading to it would be sealed and the facility itself would be decommissioned.

Extrusive rocks (e.g., basalt and dacite) have much higher [rho] than those of intrusive rocks; among them, [rho] of plutonic rock is generally higher than that of hypabyssal rock (Table 2).
