Xenolith
A xenolith is a rock fragment which becomes enveloped in a larger rock during the latter's development and hardening. In geology, the term xenolith is almost exclusively used to describe inclusions in igneous rock during magma emplacement and eruption. Xenoliths may be engulfed along the margins of a magma chamber, torn loose from the walls of an erupting lava conduit or explosive diatreme or picked up along the base of a flowing lava on Earth's surface. A xenocryst is an individual foreign crystal included within an igneous body. Examples of xenocrysts are quartz crystals in a silica-deficient lava and diamonds within kimberlite diatremes.

Xenoliet
Een xenoliet is een geologische term voor een deel van een stollingsgesteente, dat er oorspronkelijk niet in thuishoort. Xenolieten komen voor met allerlei lithologieën, van mantelgesteente tot schisten. Meestal zijn het brokken gesteente die met een magma zijn meegevoerd. Als de magma stolt komt de xenoliet in het stollingsgesteente vast te zitten.

Xenólito
Um xenólito (do grego para pedra estranha) é um fragmento de rocha que é envolvido por uma rocha maior durante o desenvolvimento e endurecimento desta última. Em geologia este termo é aplicado quase exclusivamente na desccrição de inclusões em rochas ígneas durante a colocação e erupção do magma. Os xenólitos podem ser arrastados ao longo da orla de uma câmara magmática, arrancados das paredes de um tubo de lava ou por diatremas explosivos ou arrastados ao longo da base de um fluxo de lava na superfície terrestre. Um xenólito é sempre mais antigo que a sua rocha encaixante.
