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.

2951 SCH  RN  Schist - A type of metamorphic rock with unknown protolith based on textural attributes. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is defined as a medium-grained strongly foliated rock that can be readily split into flakes or slabs due to the well-developed preferred orientation of the majority of the minerals present, particularly those of platy or prismatic habit. Schists occur characteristically in areas of medium-grade metamorphism and can encompass a wide range of lithologies. Note that orthoschist indicates a rock that is thought to have an igneous protolith, and paraschist indicates a rock that is thought to have a sedimentary protolith.
