Olivine can be present or feldspathoids just like in basalt. Hence, rock names like nepheline-bearing gabbro or olivine norite are possible. Anorthosite and troctolite are similar rocks also. Anorthosite is almost monomineralic rock â more than 90% of the plagioclase-pyroxene pair is plagioclase.Gabbroâ in the strict sense of the term is an intrusive rock that is chiefly composed of monoclinic pyroxene (clinopyroxene, abbreviated Cpx) and plagioclase. If more than 5% of Cpx is replaced with orthorhombic pyroxene (orthopyroxene, abbreviated Opx), the rock is named gabbronorite.
