Metamorphic Rocks A GALLERY

Foliated Metamorphic Rocks Foliated: Minerals are aligned in layers or rows. “consisting of thin sheets or laminae” Banded: Minerals are fully aligned together and create bands of the same mineral

Gneiss

Banded metamorphic rock. Parent rock = Granite

Phyllite

Parent rock : Slate Microscopic mica makes it shiny

Slate

Parent rock: Shale or Mudstone

Schist

Parent rock: Slate

Garnet Schist Garnets almost exclusively form in highly metamorphic rocks.

Non-Foliated Metamorphic Rocks Non-foliated rocks show no layering or banding

Quartzite

Parent rock: Sandstone

Hornfels

Parent rock: Mudstone/Shale

Non-Foliated that are NOT in your Lab Mrs. Ferguson thinks these are important to know about but they are not in your lab.

Marble

Parent rock: Limestone or Dolostone

Metaconglomerate

Meta- conglomerat e Parent rock: conglomerate
