In an oscillator where positive feedback is provided through a capacitor in series with a crystal, that type of oscillator is a:
Pierce
While the Pierce oscillator uses a crystal and capacitors, the crystal itself is the primary feedback element between output and input of an inverting stage. The capacitors are typically to ground from input and output. If feedback is *only* a cap in series with a crystal, it's a less common or partial description.
