Metamorphic rocks can be classified into one of three sub-families:

METAMORPHIC ROCKS. METAMORPHISM Alteration of any previously existing rocks by high pressures, high temperatures, and/or chemically active fluids.

Metamorphic Rocks Metamorphic rocks have been changed from a pre-existing rock. Caused by extreme heat and/or pressure.

common to rocks affected by regional metamorphic compression typical of orogenic belts. characteristic of metamorphosed rocks in which minerals are aligned in one direction so that the rock can readily be split into thin layer any penetrative planar fabric present in rocks.

PRESENTATION NAME Company Name Slate-F Migmatite-F Gniess-F Schists-F Quartzite-NF marble (CaCO 3 ) Marble-NF Phyllite-F Marble-NF

Appearance Under Microscope Non-foliatedFoliated

Development of Foliation

“Slaty”......is composed of platy minerals that are too small to see “Phyllitic “....is composed of platy minerals that are slightly larger than those found in slaty cleavage, “Schistose”......is composed of larger minerals which are visible to the unaided eye “Gneissic”....is composed of alternating bands of dark and light minerals.

foliated metamorphic rock: slate

foliated metamorphic rock: Phyllite (higher T, P than slate)

foliated metamorphic rock:Schists (higher T, P than phyllite) …new minerals grow -- garnet (large, roundish grains)

foliated metamorphic rock: Gneiss (higher T, P than schist) banding of quartz/feldspar and ferromagnesian minerals
