The pluton is lithologically diverse, but is mainly composed of hypersthene- augite gabbros with minorpyroxenite, anorthosite, tonalite, granodiorite and granite.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Shear zones commonly separate foliated gabbro from massivepyroxenite, and no exposures where the original relationships between the different rock types could be evaluated were found.

If on the other hand, the rock contains more than 90% pyroxenes (often both are present), it is termedpyroxenite.
