| 2590 | SLTE | Slate - A type of metamorphic rock with unknown protolith based on textural attributes. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is defined as a compact fine-grained rock with a strong fissility along planes in which the rock can be parted into thin plates indistinguishable from each other in terms of lithological characteristics. Slates are typically low-grade metamorphosed mudstones. However, some may be derived from volcaniclastic rocks. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/02, section 6.1 and fig. 1. | R | Slate | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 22-FEB-19 | Very-fine to fine-grained (<0.25mm), compact, low-grade metamorphic rock; (protolith undefined but commonly mudstone/volcaniclastic rock), well-developed planar fissility, splits into lithologically indistinguishable +/-1mm plates (slaty cleavage). | C | |||||

| 2596 | SMCCST | Smectite-claystone - A type of monomineralic aluminium-silicate sedimentary rock in which the aluminium-silicate mineral is smectite. It is the lithified equivalent of smectite-clay. Bentonite and fullers earth may be considered synonyms for smectite-claystone. Bentonite is a soft, plastic, porous, light-coloured rock composed essentially of clay minerals from the smectite group plus colloidal silica, and produced by chemical alteration of volcanic ash. Fullers earth is a clay consisting largely of hydrated aluminium silicates (e.g. smectite), with a high proportion of water and little plasticity. It is formed by in-situ decomposition of igneous rocks containing a high proportion of glass. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, sections 9.1 and 13.6, and table 19. | R | Smectite-claystone | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 13-MAR-19 | Not Available | C | |||||
