Perhaps …. But should the things never change? In Europe, (french and
German ?), we gave up the old term leptynite (leucocratic gneiss).

But who restricts the granulite word to the only felsic rocks? On the
contrary, this word took a too general sense! Why not restrict it to the
metabasites?
If not, I'd use : 2prx metabasic granulite, etc.
