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.

| 2589 | PEAT | RN | Peat - A type of sediment rich in organic matter. It is the unlithified end-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. Peat is an unconsolidated deposit of semi-carbonised plant remains, with individual plant remains commonly seen with the unaided eye. Peat has a yellowish brown to brownish black colour, is generally of a fibrous consistency and can be plastic or friable. In its natural state it can be cut and has a very high moisture content (> 75%, generally > 90%). It can be distinguished from lignite by the fact that the greater part of its moisture content can be squeezed out by pressure (e.g. in the hand).

| 2592 | PEG | RN | Pegmatite - A type of coarse-grained normal crystalline rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, the term pegmatite is used for veins comprised of coarse or very coarse crystals. The term is used with qualifiers to describe component minerals in increasing abundance, for example biotite-quartz-feldspar pegmatite.
