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.

813 FUSAIN  RN  Fusain - A type of bituminous-coal, classified according to lithotype. It is a black, soft, friable coal which closely resembles charcoal. It easily disintegrates into a black, fibrous powder. A hard form of fusain that has been impregnated with mineral matter can be found in some coals. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 6.1 and fig. 10.  Fusain  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19   
814 FWACKE  RN  Feldspathic-wacke - A type of wacke. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is defined as shown in British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 2.2 and figs. 3, 4.  Feldspathic-wacke  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19   
815 G1KMB  RN  Group-1-kimberlite - A type of kimberlite. Group-1-kimberlite corresponds to archetypal rocks from Kimberley, South Africa that formerly were termed basaltic kimberlites. These are volatile-rich (dominantly CO2), potassic, ultrabasic rocks which commonly exhibit a distinctive inequigranular texture resulting from the presence of macrocrysts (and in some instances megacrysts) set in a fine-grained matrix. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 6.4.  Group-1-kimberlite  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  22-FEB-19   
816 G2KMB  RN  Group-2-kimberlite - A type of kimberlite. Group-2-kimberlite corresponds to micaceous or lamprophyric kimberlites. They are characterised by the presence of macrocrysts, phenocrysts and groundmass micas, which vary from phlogopite to tetraferriphlogopite. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 6.4.  Group-2-kimberlite  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  22-FEB-19

818 GARDW  RN  Garden waste - A type of artifical deposit. It consists of predominantly organic waste including woody materials, grass and soil. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/04, appendix 1.  Garden waste  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  13-MAR-19   
819 GAYLUS  RN  Gaylussite - A type of Na carbonate sedimentary rock. Gaylussite (Na2CO3.CaCO3.5H2O) is characterised by monoclinic flattened wedge-shaped crystals. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 3.3.  Gaylussite  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19   
820 GB  RN  Gabbro - A type of gabbroic-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a coarse-grained crystalline igneous rock whose mineral mode plots in field 10 of the quartz - alkali feldspar - plagioclase - feldspathoid (QAPF) diagram. Diorite, gabbro and anorthosite are separated according to the average composition of their plagioclase and the proportion of mafic minerals (M): if M is greater than 10% and An (the anorthite content of plagioclase) is greater than 50% the rock is gabbro. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 5.1 and figs. 9, 11, 12.  Gabbro  GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  22-FEB-19
