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.

| 41 | +*SASR | RN | Siliciclastic argillaceous sediment and rock - In the Rock Classification Scheme, this class includes siliciclastic argillaceous sediment and siliciclastic argillaceous rock. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 2.3 and fig. 5. | Siliciclastic argillaceous sediment and rock | C | AWEL | 08-MAR-00 | TMCM | 08-MAR-19 | A | |
| 42 | +*SNCS | RN | Sedimentary rock and sediment composed of non-carbonate salts - In the Rock Classification Scheme, this is a non-genetic term for what are commonly called evaporite minerals. Non-carbonate salts are commonly present in a host rock. The host rock may consist of other non-carbonate salts or other types of sediment. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 7 and fig. 11. | Sedimentary rock and sediment composed of non-carbonate salts | C | AWEL | 08-MAR-00 | TMCM | 08-MAR-19 | A | |
| 43 | +*SSR | RN | Sediment and sedimentary rock - In the Rock Classification Scheme, this high level class includes siliciclastic sediment and sedimentary rock, carbonate sediment and sedimentary rock, phosphate-sediment and phosphorite, iron-sediment and ironstone, organic-rich sediment and sedimentary rock, sedimentary rock and sediment composed of non-carbonate salts, non-clastic siliceous sediment and sedimentary rock, miscellaneous hydroxide, oxide and silicate sediment and sedimentary rock, sedimentary rock based on grain size or crystal size, and hybrid sediment and sedimentary rock.

| 44 | +*SSRO | RN | Organic-rich sediment and sedimentary rock - In the Rock Classification Scheme, these are defined as those sediments and sedimentary rocks where the organic content is sufficiently high to have a noticeable effect on the lithology. A definition based on a greater than 50% volumetric abundance of organic matter is not possible because historically the definitions of sediments and sedimentary rocks rich in organic-matter have been based on their quality as fossil fuels.

| 45 | +*SSSR | RN | Siliciclastic sediment and sedimentary rock - In the Rock Classification Scheme, siliciclastic sediments and rocks are defined as rocks in which clastic fragments derived from preexisting siliceous rocks form more than 50% of the sediment or rock. The class includes siliciclastic rudaceous sediment and rock, siliciclastic arenaceous sediment and rock, and siliciclastic argillaceous sediment and rock.

| 48 | +^PYSD | RN | Pyroclastic rock and sediment - A type of volcaniclastic igneous rock and sediment. In the Rock Classification Scheme, pyroclastic rocks and sediments contain more than 75% by volume pyroclastic fragments. The class includes pyroclastic-rock, and pyroclastic-sediment. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 4.2 and figs. 1, 4. | Pyroclastic rock and sediment | C | AWEL | 08-MAR-00 | TMCM | 15-FEB-19 | A | |
| 49 | +^~VIS | RN | Volcaniclastic igneous rock and sediment - In the Rock Classification Scheme, this class includes volcaniclastic sedimentary rock and sediment, tuffite, and pyroclastic rock and sediment.

| 50 | +~FIS | RN | Fragmental igneous rock and sediment - Includes those rocks constituted of mixtures of fragments of rocks, crystals and glass.

| 59 | AFGN | RN | Alkali-feldspar-granite - A type of granitic-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a granitic rock in which plagioclase comprises less than 10% of the total feldspar. The mineral mode plots in field 2 of the quartz - alkali feldspar - plagioclase - feldspathoid (QAPF) diagram.

In the Rock Classification Scheme, this name is used for a fine-grained crystalline igneous rock when the modal mineralogy is available, and the mineral mode plots in field 2 of the quartz - alkali feldspar - plagioclase - feldspathoid (QAPF) diagram. It is the fine-grained equivalent of alkali-feldspar-granite.
