Granodiorite

Granodiorite (/ˌɡrænoʊˈdaɪəraɪt, ˌɡrænə-/) is a coarse-grained (phaneritic) intrusive igneous rock similar to granite, but containing more plagioclase feldspar than orthoclase feldspar.

The term banatite is sometimes used informally for various rocks ranging from granite to diorite, including granodiorite.
