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.

| 3358 | ULCAT | RN | Ultracataclasite - A type of cataclastic-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is one in which fragments significantly coarser than the matrix comprise less than 10% by volume of the rock. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/02, section 7.2 and table 4. | Ultracataclasite | C | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 22-FEB-19 | R | |
| 3359 | ULEXST | RN | Ulexite-stone - A type of non-carbonate salt that is composed of particles of the borate mineral ulexite. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 7.1 and fig. 11. | Ulexite-stone | C | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 08-MAR-19 | R | |
| 3360 | ULMYL | RN | Ultramylonite - A type of mylonitic-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is one in which porphyroclasts comprise less than 10% by volume of the rock. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/02, section 7.3 and table 5. | Ultramylonite | C | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 22-FEB-19 | R | |
| 3361 | UMFT | RN | Ultramafitite - A type of mafite. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is the fine-grained equivalent of ultramafic-rock. The term may be used as a field classification when an accurate mineral mode from thin section examination, or a chemical analysis, is not available. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 5.2 and fig. 17. | Ultramafitite | C | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 22-FEB-19 | R | |

| 3363 | UMMER | RN | Ultramafic-melilitic-rock - A type of melilitic rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, ultramafic-melilitic-rock and non-ultramafic-melilitic-rock are distinguished using colour index M: ultramafic-melilitic-rock has M greater than 90%. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 6.2 and figs. 27, 28. | Ultramafic-melilitic-rock | C | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 22-FEB-19 | A | |
| 3364 | UMR | RN | Ultramafic-rock - A type of coarse-grained normal crystalline rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, a rock is ultramafic if the proportion of mafic minerals (M) is greater than 90%. They are classified according to their mafic mineral content, namely olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and hornblende. The class includes peridotite, pyroxenite, and hornblendite. The term may be used as a field classification when an accurate mineral mode from thin section examination is not available.

| 3368 | UPRO | RN | Metamorphic rock with unknown protolith - In the Rock Classification Scheme, a rock is classified within this category if the nature of the protolith is not known. The class includes metamorphic rock with unknown protolith based on textural attributes, and metamorphic rock with unknown protolith based on modal composition. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/02, section 6 and fig. 1. | Metamorphic rock with unknown protolith | C | AWEL | 22-JUL-02 | TMCM | 22-FEB-19 | A | |
| 3369 | V | RN | Gravel [Unlithified Deposits Coding Scheme] - A type of natural superficial deposit. The Unlithified Deposits Coding Scheme was developed as a way of coding unlithified deposits (also commonly referred to as superficial deposits, unconsolidated deposits, or engineering soils) that is consistent with civil engineering industry usage (BS5930). | Gravel [UDCS] | C | AWEL | 09-JAN-02 | TMCM | 13-MAR-19 | R | |
