  • In geology, a suite is a lithodemic unit consisting of two or more lithodemes of a single genetic class (metamorphic, igneous or sedimentary). The law of superposition is inapplicable to intrusive, highly deformed, or metamorphic bodies of rock lacking discernible stratification. Such bodies of rock are described as lithodemic and are determined and delimited based on rock characteristics. The 1983 North American Stratigraphic Code adopted the formal term lithodeme, which is comparable to a formation. A lithodeme is the fundamental unit and should possess distinctive and consistent lithological features, comprising a single rock type or a mixture of two or more types that distinguishes the unit from those around it. A suite is a group of two or more lithodemes of a single genetic class. It differs from a complex, which is a group of two or more lithodemes of different genetic classes. (en)
  • Een suite is in de geologie en geochemie een groep gesteenten die chemisch, mineralogisch of anderszins bij elkaar horen, maar geen duidelijke gelaagdheid of andere structuur vertonen waarop ze in eenheden in te delen zijn. Met name stollingsgesteente, maar ook metamorf gesteente wordt soms door geologen in suites ingedeeld. Stollingsgesteenten in dezelfde suite worden geacht een gemeenschappelijke oorsprong te hebben. In de stratigrafie en geologische kartering zijn suites eenheden met een vaak onregelmatige vorm die slecht zijn onder te verdelen. Wanneer wel onderverdeling mogelijk is worden de onderverdelingen genoemd. Suites zijn in rangorde vergelijkbaar met stratigrafische groepen. (nl)
