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.

94 AMPHB  RN  Amphibolite - A type of metamorphic rock with unknown protolith based on modal composition. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is one composed largely of hornblende and plagioclase. This mineralogy reflects amphibolite facies conditions. Note that para-amphibolite indicates a rock that is thought to have a sedimentary protolith, and ortho-amphibolite indicates a rock that is thought to have an igneous protolith.
