Comagmatic

/koʊ.mægˈmæt.ɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or formed from the same magma source, used especially in geology to describe rocks or mineral formations with a common origin.

Etymology

From 'co-' (together) combined with 'magmatic' (relating to magma). This geological term emerged in the 19th century with advances in understanding rock formation.

Kelly Says

Geologists use 'comagmatic' to show that two different-looking rocks actually came from the same melted material underground—it's like finding that cousins come from the same grandparents!
