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.

| 61 | AFSY | RN | Alkali-feldspar-syenite - A type of syenitic-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a coarse-grained crystalline igneous rock whose mineral mode plots in field 6 of the quartz - alkali feldspar - plagioclase - feldspathoid (QAPF) diagram. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 5.1 and figs. 9, 11, 12. | Alkali-feldspar-syenite | C | AWEL | 12-DEC-01 | TMCM | 22-FEB-19 | R | |
| 62 | AFTR | RN | Alkali-feldspar-trachyte - A type of trachytic-rock. 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 6 of the quartz - alkali feldspar - plagioclase - feldspathoid (QAPF) diagram.

| 64 | AGATE | RN | Agate - A type of chert consisting of translucent cryptocrystalline quartz. This is a variegated chalcedony, commonly mixed or alternating with opal and characterised by banded colours.

| 66 | AGG | RN | Agglomerate - A type of pyroclastic-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a pyroclastic-rock in which more than 75% of the pyroclastic fragments exceed 64 mm in size. Agglomerate and pyroclastic-breccia are separated according to the relative proportion of blocks (angular fragments exceeding 64 mm) and bombs (rounded fragments exceeding 64 mm): if bombs dominate over blocks the rock is agglomerate. It is the consolidated equivalent of bomb-tephra or block-bomb-tephra. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 4.2 and fig. 4. | Agglomerate | C | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 15-FEB-19 | R | |
| 67 | AGGE | RN | Aggregate - A type of artificial deposit. In the building industry, aggregate is a range of mineral substances, for example sand, gravel, crushed rock, stone, slag and other minerals which, when cemented, forms concrete, mortar, mastic, and plaster. Uncemented, it can be used as a bulk material in road-making and ballast. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/04, appendix 1. | Aggregate | C | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 13-MAR-19 | R | |
