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.

2858 QSY  RN  Quartz-syenite - A type of syenitic-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a coarse-grained crystalline igneous rock whose mineral mode plots in field 7* of the quartz - alkali feldspar - plagioclase - feldspathoid (QAPF) diagram. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 5.1 and figs. 9, 11, 12.  Quartz-syenite  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  22-FEB-19   
2859 QTR  RN  Quartz-trachyte - A type of trachytic-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, this name is used for a fine-grained crystalline igneous rock when the modal mineralogy is available, and the mineral mode plots in field 7* of the quartz - alkali feldspar - plagioclase - feldspathoid (QAPF) diagram. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 5.2 and figs. 17a, 19.  Quartz-trachyte  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  22-FEB-19   
2860 QTZOLT  RN  Quartzolite - A type of quartz-rich-coarse-grained-crystalline-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a collective term for coarse-grained crystalline rocks in which quartz comprises more than 90% of the felsic minerals. These extremely rare rocks are unlikely to be wholly of primary igneous origin.
