2555	SILICR	Siliceous rock - In the Rock Classification Scheme, these are rocks which are composed of more than 50% silica of biogenic or chemical origin. This is the lithified equivalent of non-clastic siliceous sediment. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 8.2 and fig. 12.	A	Siliceous rock			GRBA	24-FEB-00	TMCM	08-MAR-19		Non-clastic siliceous sedimentary rock with >50% silica of biogenic or chemical origin. Particle type & porosity not defined (0.01mm)	C
2556	SILOOZ	Siliceous-ooze - A type of non-clastic siliceous sediment. All non-clastic siliceous sediments are given the group name siliceous-ooze. Oozes have little strength and are readily deformed under the finger or broad blade of a spatula. Detailed analysis by X-ray powder diffractogram would show the silica to be composed of amorphous opal, frequently referred to as opal-A. They may be given a more detailed root name on the basis of their biogenic fossil type. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 8.1 and fig. 12.
