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.

| 345 | CALSIR | RN | Calcsilicate-rock - A type of metasedimentary rock composed largely of calcsilicate and/or carbonate minerals. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is one in which the modal calcsilicate mineral content exceeds the modal abundance of carbonate minerals.

| 352 | CAMPTN | RN | Camptonite - A type of lamprophyre. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a lamprophyre in which plagioclase is the dominant feldspar, feldspar dominates over feldspathoids, and the predominant mafic minerals are amphibole, Ti-rich augite, olivine, and biotite. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 6.7 and figs. 31, 32. | Camptonite | C | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 22-FEB-19 | R | |

| 354 | CAMUD | RN | Calcite-mud - A type of lime-mud in which the carbonate is composed dominantly of calcite. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 3.1 and table 2. | Calcite-mud | C | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 08-MAR-19 | R | |
| 355 | CANL | RN | Cannel-coal - A type of sapropelic-coal. It is a dull black, has a waxy lustre, is homogeneous, has concoidal fracture, and is rich in miospores with very little alginite. Macroscopic examination shows no stratification. Microscopic examination shows that compared with humic coals the macerals are more intimately mixed and at the same time are finer and more uniformly grained. Moreover cannel-coal frequently shows a uniform microstratification and is more homogeneous in structure than humic coals. Siderite is commonly abundant in cannel-coal. There is a continuous range of transitional stages between cannel-coal and boghead-coal with both alginite and miospores present. Intermediate types can be called boghead-cannel-coal and cannel-boghead-coal.

| 356 | CAOCBT | RN | Calciocarbonatite - A type of carbonatite. In the Rock Classification Scheme, this term may be used when a chemical classification is necessary because the rock is too fine grained for an accurate mode to be determined, or if the carbonate minerals are complex Ca-Mg-Fe solid solutions. The definition of calciocarbonatite is as shown in British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 6.1 and figs. 25, 26. See also: calcite-carbonatite. | Calciocarbonatite | C | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 22-FEB-19 | R | |

| 359 | CARN | RN | Calcarenite - A type of limestone. The term may be used as a synonym for sand-grade limestone. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 3.1. | Calcarenite | C | DJLO | 25-JUL-05 | TMCM | 08-MAR-19 | I | A |
| 360 | CARNST | RN | Carnallite-stone - A type of non-carbonate salt that is composed of particles of the chloride mineral carnallite. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 7.1 and fig. 11. | Carnallite-stone | C | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 08-MAR-19 | R |
