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.

3058	SICL	RN	Clay, silty [Obsolete code: use CZ]	Silty clay	O	AWEL	31-MAY-02	TMCM	02-OCT-20		U
3059	SICLY	RN	Silicate-clay - A type of silicate-mud. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a silicate-mud consisting of greater than 50% clay-grade particles. Typically, the sediment displays plastic properties. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 2.3 and table 1.	Silicate-clay	C	GRBA	24-FEB-00	TMCM	08-MAR-19		R
3060	SICOG	RN	Silicate-conglomerate - A type of siliciclastic rudaceous rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, all siliciclastic rudaceous rocks are given this group name.

3061	SICRET	RN	Silcrete - A type of silicate-conglomerate, consisting of surficial sand and gravel cemented into a hard mass by silica. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 8.5.	Silcrete	C	AWEL	16-MAR-04	TMCM	08-MAR-19		R
3062	SIGV	RN	Silicate-gravel - A type of siliciclastic rudaceous sediment. In the Rock Classification Scheme, all siliciclastic rudaceous sediments are given this root name. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 2.1 and fig. 2. See also: lime-gravel.	Silicate-gravel	C	GRBA	24-FEB-00	TMCM	08-MAR-19		R
3063	SILICR	RN	Siliceous rock - In the Rock Classification Scheme, these are rocks which are composed of more than 50% silica of biogenic or chemical origin. This is the lithified equivalent of non-clastic siliceous sediment. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 8.2 and fig. 12.	Siliceous rock	C	GRBA	24-FEB-00	TMCM	08-MAR-19		A
3064	SILOOZ	RN	Siliceous-ooze - A type of non-clastic siliceous sediment. All non-clastic siliceous sediments are given the group name siliceous-ooze. Oozes have little strength and are readily deformed under the finger or broad blade of a spatula. Detailed analysis by X-ray powder diffractogram would show the silica to be composed of amorphous opal, frequently referred to as opal-A. They may be given a more detailed root name on the basis of their biogenic fossil type. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 8.1 and fig. 12.

3068	SIMST	RN	Silicate-mudstone - A type of siliciclastic argillaceous rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, all siliciclastic argillaceous rocks are given this group name. They may be further classified as silicate-siltstone or silicate-claystone based on the proportion of silt to clay. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 2.3 and fig. 5.
