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.

| 2560 | P | RN | Peat [Unlithified Deposits Coding Scheme] - A type of natural superficial deposit. The Unlithified Deposits Coding Scheme was developed as a way of coding unlithified deposits (also commonly referred to as superficial deposits, unconsolidated deposits, or engineering soils) that is consistent with civil engineering industry usage (BS5930).

| 2563 | PAMPHB | RN | Para-amphibolite - A type of calcsilicate-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is one composed largely of hornblende and plagioclase. This mineralogy reflects amphibolite facies conditions. Note the para- prefix indicates a rock that is thought to have a sedimentary protolith, in contrast with ortho-amphibolite which has an igneous protolith, and amphibolite where the nature of the protolith is not defined.

| 2570 | PCR | RN | Picritic-rock - A type of mafite. Picritic rocks are high-Mg fine-grained crystalline rocks. They are classified using an extension of the total alkali silica (TAS) classification. In the Rock Classification Scheme, this class includes picrite, komatiite, and meimechite.
