Intrusive suite

Georgetown Intrusive Suite, an old quarry south of Massachusetts Avenue in Rock Creek Park, near the border with Montrose Park, Washington DC

The term Intrusive suite seems near synonymous with intrusive rock.[1][2] There is, however, a modest difference: An intrusive suite is a group of plutons related in time and space.[3] Plus, all rocks in an intrusive suite result from the same magma-producing event.[4]
