2608 SNDYPT  Sandy-peat - A type of peat. It is an unlithified end-member of the impure humic coal series. The impure humic coal series can be subdivided into muddy-peat / sandy-peat (the unlithified form) and impure-coal (the lithified form). Muddy-peat and sandy-peat are distinguished on the basis of their mineral content.

2617 SPESS  Spessartite - A type of lamprophyre. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a lamprophyre in which plagioclase is the dominant feldspar, and the predominant mafic minerals are hornblende and diopsidic augite (with/without olivine).

2625 SPICUT  Spiculite - A type of siliceous rock which is predominantly composed of sponge spicules. It is the lithified equivalent of sponge-spicular-ooze. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 8.2 and fig. 12.  Spiculite          GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19    Non-clastic siliceous sedimentary rock with >50% silica of biogenic origin.
