The Cornubian batholith is a large mass of granite rock, formed about 280 million years ago, which lies beneath much of Devon and Cornwall, the south-western peninsula of Great Britain. The main exposed masses of granite are seen at Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor, St Austell, Carnmenellis, Land's End and the Isles of Scilly. The intrusion is associated with significant quantities of minerals particularly cassiterite, an ore of tin which has been mined since about 2000 BC. Other minerals include china clay and ores of copper, lead, zinc and tungsten.

  • Der Cornubische Batholith ist ein Batholith aus Granit, der vor rund 280 Millionen Jahren im Unterperm entstanden war. Er unterlagert einen Großteil der südwestlichen Halbinsel Großbritanniens und tritt in Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor, um St Austell, , am Land’s End und auf den Isles of Scilly zu Tage. Im engen Zusammenhang mit der Intrusion stehen sehr bedeutende Mineralvorkommen, insbesondere das Zinnerz Cassiterit, das bereits seit 2000 v. Chr. hier abgebaut wird. Ebenfalls zugegen sind Erze von Kupfer, Blei, Zink und Wolfram. Von Bedeutung ist auch der Abbau von Kaolin für die Porzellanmanufaktur. (de)
  • El Batolito cornubiano es una asociación de intrusiones de granito que yacen en la penínisula sud-occidental de la isla de Gran Bretaña, la cual es la parte del Reino Unido.. Las principales masas expuestas a la superficie del batolito se pueden observar en Dartmoor, , St Austell, , Land's End y en las Islas Sorlingas. El batolito se formó a inicios del periodo geológico Pérmico de 300 a 275 millones a años atrás, en la fase tardía de la orogenia varisca.​ (es)
