1. Petrogr. One of the two primary categories erected by Cross, Iddings, Pirsson, and Washington to classify igneous rocks and their characteristic minerals, and broadly including those rich in non-ferromagnesian aluminous and siliceous minerals such as quartz, feldspars, and feldspathoids. Hence salic |ˈsælɪk| a.2, of or pertaining to this category of rocks. Cf. femic a.
1902W. Cross et al. in Jrnl. Geol. X. 573 To express concisely the two groups of standard minerals and their chemical characters in part, the words sal and fem have been adopted. The former is employed to designate group I, mnemonically recalling the siliceous and aluminous character of its minerals. 1902, etc. [see femic a.]. 1931A. Johannsen Descr. Petrogr.

Igneous Petrol. ii. 48 The most generally used index of magmatic evolution is the differentiation index (DI) proposed by Thornton and Tuttle (1960); this is simply the weight percentage of the..salic components quartz.., albite.., orthoclase.., nepheline.., leucite.., and kalsilite.
†2. Geol. Also Sal. [a. G. Sal (E. Suess Das Antlitz der Erde (1909) III. ii. xxiv. 626), f. S(i + al, chem. symbols for silicon and aluminium.] = sial (now superseded by that term). Obs.
