- Petrogenesis - Petrogenesis, also known as petrogeny, is a branch of petrology dealing with the origin of igneous rocks. Petrology is the branch of geology dealing with the origin, occurrence, structure and history of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.
- Prismatic - In geology and petrology, prismatic, or sometimes just called "prism", refers to a usually long, narrow, wedge-shaped sedimentary body with a width to thickness ratio greater than 5 to 1 but less than 50 to 1, and a length 1.5 to 3 times its width.
- Nodule (geology) - A nodule in petrology or mineralogy is an irregular rounded to spherical concretion. Nodules are typically solid replacement bodies of chert or iron oxides formed during diagenesis of a sedimentary rock.
