-
One who supports the geological theory of plutonism.
The Plutonists, who had Thomas Huxley on their side, asserted that rocks such as basalt and granite, which originated in a molten state deep within the Earth, were the primary source, and that the other rock types such as sandstone and slate were formed from their breakdown and re-deposition as silt and mud.
