Intrusion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An intrusion is any formation of intrusive igneous rock; rock formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of a planet. In contrast, an extrusion consists of extrusive rock; rock f...

Most geology textbooks describe the mechanism of granite pluton emplacement in terms of the very slow (millions of years) ascent of a large bodies (diapirs) of magma. In the lower – relatively ductile - part of the ... The suggested scenario for formation of upper-crustal granitic bodies can be summarized as follows:

Two plutons are examined, the subvolcanic 98 Ma old Jackass Lakes pluton, central Sierra Nevada, California, and the voluminous middle crustal 442 Ma old Andalshatten pluton, central Norway.

The Acadian-age Waldoboro Pluton Complex (WPC), mid-coastal Maine, consists of seven granitoid units surrounded by migmatitic, peraluminous gneisses and schists (predominantly Bucksport or Sebascodegan Formation).

Magnetic-petrologic studies on metasedimentary rocks from the low-pressure–high-temperature contact-metamorphic aureole of the Joshua Flat–Beer Creek pluton at the southern rim of the Inyo batholith, California, reveal the effect of contact metamorphism on magnetic minerals.

indeed, tectonic overpressuring was probably essential for producing sufficiently high magma pressures for laccolith formation at this midcrustal level. Simple thermal modeling, using microstructural and thermobarometric data, indicates that the total duration of emplacement of the pluton did not exceed 30 000 yr.
