laccolith

laccolith
Noun
pl: laccoliths

This term is a specialized geological descriptor used primarily in academic, technical, and professional contexts. It describes a specific structural geometry of igneous intrusion, distinguishing it from sills, which are flat, or batholiths, which are much larger and more irregular. The term carries a neutral, descriptive tone and is rarely encountered outside of earth sciences.

Because it refers to a specific geological feature, it is treated as a standard countable noun. Geologists may refer to a single laccolith or multiple laccoliths within a regional volcanic province.

Meanings

Nounlaccolith

A mushroom-shaped igneous intrusion that forms when magma is injected between two layers of sedimentary rock, pushing the overlying strata upward into a dome.
