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.

| 3078 | SISTCC | RN | Ganister - A type of quartz-arenite. It is a hard, fine-grained, quartz-arenite, cemented with silica and possessing a splintery fracture. Traces of roots may be visible. It is associated with coal seams. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 13.6. See also: seat-earth. | Ganister | C | AWEL | 17-NOV-03 | TMCM | 08-MAR-19 | R | |

| 3093 | SLIG | RN | Sapropelic-lignite - A type of coal. It is a member of the sapropelic coal series. The members of the sapropelic coal series can be ranked in order as sapropel (the unlithified form), sapropelic-lignite, and sapropelic-coal (the lithified forms) based on increasing carbon content and decreasing volatile content. Sapropelic-lignite is macroscopically similar to humic lignite. It may be possible to distinguish sapropelic lignites by their homogeneous, non-stratified appearance. If differentiation is difficult, sapropelic lignites can be accurately differentiated by chemical analysis.
