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.

625 DLBST  RN  Dolomite-boundstone - A type of dolostone, classified on the basis of its biogenic texture. It is a dolostone in which the original components were bound and encrusted together by the action of plants and animals in the position of growth. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 3.2, table 7 and fig. 7.  Dolomite-boundstone  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19   
626 DLCBT  RN  Dolomite-carbonatite - A type of carbonatite. In the Rock Classification Scheme, this term may be used when a modal classification is possible. In a dolomite-carbonatite more than 90% of the carbonate is dolomite. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 6.1 and fig. 25.

629 DLFST  RN  Dolomite-framestone - A type of dolostone, classified on the basis of its biogenic texture. It is a type of reef rock consisting of a rigid framework of colonies, shells or skeletons. Internal cavities are filled with fine sediment. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 3.2, table 7 and fig. 7.  Dolomite-framestone  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19   
630 DLGST  RN  Dolomite-grainstone - A type of dolostone, classified on the basis of its depositional texture. It is a grain-supported dolostone with little matrix (mud-grade material smaller than 32 µm).

631 DLGV  RN  Dolomite-gravel - A type of dolomite-sediment. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is one in which over 25% of clasts are larger than 2 mm. The grain size classes are defined in the same way as the siliciclastic sediments. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 3.2, table 6 and fig. 7.

636 DLMDST  RN  Dolomite-mudstone - A type of dolostone, classified on the basis of its depositional texture. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a matrix-supported dolostone composed of greater than 75% matrix (mud-grade material smaller than 32 µm). British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 3.2, table 7 and fig. 7.  Dolomite-mudstone  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19
