DIC_ROCK_ALL (3677 rows)
Dictionary table based on the entire version 3 of the BGS Rock Classification Scheme and is populated directly from the 3 supplying tables (BGS.ROCK_NAME_V3, BGS.ROCK_COMPOSITE and BGS.DIC_ROCK_DUMMY). It contains both the base rock names and addditional codes required for specific application, eg. composite names for use on digital geological maps. It is formally approved as the official source of ALL database codes to be used in BGS corporate databases and MUST be followed.

1083 LHZ  RN  Lherzolite - A type of pyroxene-peridotite. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a pyroxene-peridotite with olivine 40 - 90%, orthopyroxene 5 - 55% and clinopyroxene 5 - 55% of olivine + orthopyroxene + clinopyroxene. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 5.1 and figs. 15, 16.  Lherzolite  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  22-FEB-19   
1084 LIGN  RN  Lignite - A type of coal. It is a member of the pure humic coal series. The members of the pure humic coal series can be ranked in order as peat (the unlithified form), lignite, bituminous-coal, and anthracite (the lithified forms) based on increasing carbon content and decreasing volatile content. Lignite is a consolidated, dull, soft brown to black coal with many readily discernible plant fragments set in a finer-grained organic matrix. It tends to crack and fall apart on drying. Lignite may be further classified into brown-lignite and black-lignite. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 6.1, table 16 and fig. 10.  Lignite  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19   
1085 LITMGE  RN  Lithomarge - One of the hydroxides and oxides of alumina. It consists essentially of hydrated silicates of alumina or kaolinite minerals. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 9.2.  Lithomarge  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  13-MAR-19

1088 LMBST  RN  Lime-boundstone - A type of limestone, classified on the basis of its biogenic texture. It is a limestone in which the original components were bound and encrusted together by the action of plants and animals in the position of growth (e.g. reef limestones).

1094 LMFST  RN  Lime-framestone - A type of limestone, classified on the basis of its biogenic texture. It is a type of reef rock consisting of a rigid framework of colonies, shells or skeletons. Internal cavities are filled with fine sediment. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 3.1, table 3 and fig. 6.  Lime-framestone  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19

1096 LMGST  RN  Lime-grainstone - A type of limestone, classified on the basis of its depositional texture. It is a grain-supported limestone with little matrix (mud-grade material smaller than 32 µm). British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 3.1, table 3 and fig. 6.  Lime-grainstone  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19   
1097 LMGV  RN  Lime-gravel - A type of lime-sediment. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a lime-sediment in which over 25% of clasts are larger than 2 mm. The grain size classes are defined in the same way as the siliciclastic sediments. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 3.1, table 2 and fig. 6.

Crystals are not resolvable under an optical microscope. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 3.1, table 3 and fig. 6.  Lime-microstone  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19
