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.

| 387 | CGR | RN | Coarse-grained normal crystalline rock - In the Rock Classification Scheme, a crystalline rock is coarse-grained if its average crystal size is greater than 2 mm. This group corresponds to the plutonic division of the IUGS scheme. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 1.3 and figs. 1, 3 and 9. | Coarse-grained normal crystalline rock | C | AWEL | 08-JUN-01 | TMCM | 15-FEB-19 | A | |

| 389 | CHARNR | RN | Rock, charnockitic - A type of coarse-grained normal crystalline rock. The charnockitic suite of rocks is usually characterised by the presence of orthopyroxene (or fayalite plus quartz, though in such assemblages fayalite is invariably altered) and, in many such rocks, perthite, mesoperthite or antiperthite. Primary hydrous minerals are generally absent. They are commonly associated with norites and anorthosites and are linked closely with high-grade metamorphic terrains. Despite being composed largely of feldspar and quartz, charnockitic rocks are generally melanocratic due to very dark feldspar crystals, which also have a characteristically greasy appearance. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 5.1. Examples (root name and qualifier): charnockitic granite, charnockitic monzonite, charnockitic tonalite. | Charnockitic rock | C | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 22-FEB-19 | U | |

| 391 | CHEMDP | RN | Chemical deposit (natural superficial) - A type of natural superficial deposit. It consists of sediments formed primarily by precipitation from solution or colloidal suspension or by the deposition of insoluble precipitates.

| 393 | CHINAW | RN | China clay waste - A type of artifical deposit. It consists of kaolin and waste materials derived from the extraction of kaolin from granitic rocks.

| 396 | CHRMT | RN | Chromitite - A type of rock of restricted mineralogy. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a coarse-grained crystalline igneous rock in which chromite exceeds 90% of the mineral mode. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 8.2. | Chromitite | C | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 22-FEB-19 | R | |
| 397 | CHRT | RN | Chert - A type of siliceous rock. It usually has a porosity of less than 10%. Chert is dense, very hard, and has a vitreous lustre. It can be further classified as opaline-chert and quartzose-chert according to the type of silica. It may not be possible to accurately use this classification without X-ray analysis. In addition, the root names jasper, flint, and agate are available to describe distinctive types.

| 400 | CIR | RN | Crystalline igneous rock - Rock comprised essentially of interlocking crystals and/or glass. In the Rock Classification Scheme, this class includes normal crystalline igneous rock, and exotic crystalline igneous rock.
