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.

| 3118 | SMCCST | RN | Smectite-claystone - A type of monomineralic aluminium-silicate sedimentary rock in which the aluminium-silicate mineral is smectite. It is the lithified equivalent of smectite-clay. Bentonite and fullers earth may be considered synonyms for smectite-claystone. Bentonite is a soft, plastic, porous, light-coloured rock composed essentially of clay minerals from the smectite group plus colloidal silica, and produced by chemical alteration of volcanic ash. Fullers earth is a clay consisting largely of hydrated aluminium silicates (e.g. smectite), with a high proportion of water and little plasticity. It is formed by in-situ decomposition of igneous rocks containing a high proportion of glass.
