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.

3339 TUF  RN  Tuff - A type of pyroclastic-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a pyroclastic-rock in which the average size of more than 75% of the pyroclastic fragments is less than 64 mm. Lapillistone, lapilli-tuff, and tuff are separated according to the relative proportion of lapilli-grade (2 - 64 mm) and ash-grade (<2 mm) fragments: if less than 25% of the fragments are lapilli the rock is tuff. It is the consolidated equivalent of ash. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 4.2 and fig. 4.  Tuff  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  15-FEB-19   
3340 TUFA  RN  Tufa - A type of chemical deposit (natural superficial). It is a sedimentary rock composed of calcium carbonate or silica, formed by evaporation as a thin, surficial, soft, spongy, semifriable encrustation around the mouth of springs, seeps or along streams carrying calcium carbonate in solution, and exceptionally as a thick deposit along lake shores. Travertine is a hard, dense variety of tufa; it also occurs in caves as stalactites and stalagmites. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03; RR/99/04, appendix 2 and tables 5, 17. Synonyms: sinter, travertine.  Tufa  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  13-MAR-19   
3341 TUFBRC  RN  Tuff-breccia - A type of pyroclastic-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a pyroclastic-rock which contains more than 25% of each of the main pyroclastic fragment size divisions: blocks and bombs (>64 mm), lapilli (2 - 64 mm), and ash (<2 mm). It is the consolidated equivalent of ash-breccia. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 4.2 and fig. 4.  Tuff-breccia  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  15-FEB-19

3345 TUFIST  RN  Tuffisite - A type of intrusion-breccia. It comprises brecciated and lithified country-rock fragments found in intrusive pipes which are formed by the explosive release of gas.

3347 TUFT  RN  Tuffite - A type of volcaniclastic igneous rock and sediment. In the Rock Classification Scheme, tuffite is a general term for volcaniclastic rocks and sediments which consist of 25 - 75% by volume pyroclastic fragments. The class includes tuffaceous-sedimentary-rock, and tuffaceous-sediment. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 4.2 and figs. 1, 4.  Tuffite  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  15-FEB-19
