I'm not sure "Xenomorph (geology)" is the best location for the geological term. I don't find it in Webster's dictionary or even here. A google search for "Xenomorph geology" brings up very few hits, many of which still appear to be about the alien from the movies. Allotriomorph has twice as many hits, none of them about aliens. It seems that, in English at least, Allotriomorph is the more common term for what User:790 is describing at Xenomorph (geology). Kafziel 17:44, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, in my "Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary", 1989 edition, both forms are listed as adjectives, where "xenomorphic" contains the explanation, and "allotriomorphic" only refers to it. Greets 790 21:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
