In
geology, a stock is an
igneousintrusion that has a surface exposure of less than 100 square kilometres (40 sq mi),[1][2] differing from
batholiths only in being smaller. A stock has a
discordant relationship with the rocks that it intrudes. Many stocks are
cupolas of hidden batholiths.[3][2] Some circular or elliptical stocks may be
volcanic plugs, which fill the vents of now extinct volcanoes.[4][5]
A boss is a small stock.[6]
