In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a pyroxenite with olivine <5%, clinopyroxene 5 - 90% and orthopyroxene 5 - 90% of olivine + orthopyroxene + clinopyroxene. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 5.1 and figs. 15, 16.  Websterite          GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  22-FEB-19    Coarse-grained, av. between 2-16mm normal crystalline intrusive rock; CI M>90%; olivine <5%, clinopyroxene 5-90%, orthopyroxene 5-90%, of Ol+Cpx+Opx, +/- amphibole/feldspar 
2899 WEHRL  Wehrlite - A type of pyroxene-peridotite.

2900 WOODU  Wood - A type of artificial deposit (when used in the context of artificially modified ground).  Wood          GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  13-MAR-19    Not Available 
2901 WRC  Weathered rock - A type of regolith. It consists of weathered material which, depending on degree of disintegration, may be described in terms of rock material weathering grades II (slightly weathered), III (moderately weathered), IV (highly weathered), V (completely weathered), or VI (residual soil). In engineering geology terms, slightly to moderately weathered material falling into weathering grades II and III are considered as weathered rock for engineering purposes, and grades IV to VI as soil. Saprolite refers to soil-like grade IV and V material which has been altered and decomposed by chemical weathering processes. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/04, appendix 2.  Weathered rock          GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  13-MAR-19    Not Available 
2902 WRCI  Weathered-grade I rock - A type of weathered rock. Fresh, no visible sign of rock material weathering. Perhaps slight discolouration on major discontinuity surfaces. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/04, table 12.  Weathered-grade I rock          AWEL  27-APR-00  TMCM  13-MAR-19    Not Available 
2903 WRCII  Weathered-grade II rock - A type of weathered rock. Slightly weathered. Discolouration indicates weathering of rock material and discontinuity surfaces. All the rock material may be discoloured by weathering. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/04, table 12.  Weathered-grade II rock          GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  13-MAR-19    Not Available 
2904 WRCIII  Weathered-grade III rock - A type of weathered rock. Moderately weathered. Less than half of the rock material is decomposed or disintegrated to a soil. Fresh or discoloured rock is present either as a continuous framework or as corestones. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/04, table 12.  Weathered-grade III rock          AWEL  27-APR-00  TMCM  13-MAR-19    Not Available 
2905 WRCIV  Weathered-grade IV rock - A type of weathered rock. Highly weathered. More than half of the rock material is decomposed or disintegrated to a soil. Fresh or discoloured rock is present either as a continuous framework or as corestones. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/04, table 12.  Weathered-grade IV rock          GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  13-MAR-19    Not Available
