Regional metamorphism Increasing temperature and pressure causes a rock or "protolith" to undergo fairly predictable series of metamorphic changes. We call rocks that have the characteristic minerals and textures of low temperature/pressure conditions LOW GRADE rocks, and those with higher temperature/pressure characteristics HIGH GRADE rocks. The various types of foliated metamorphic rocks, listed in order of the grade or intensity of metamorphism and the type of foliation are slate, phyllite, schist, and gneiss. Rather than focusing on metamorphic rock textures (slate, schist, gneiss, etc.), geologists tend to look at specific minerals within the rocks that are indicative of Metamorphic Rocks. A low-grade metamorphic rock that typically contains chlorite, actinolite, epidote, and albite. Note that the first three minerals are green, which imparts the color to the rock. Such a rock is called greenschist if foliated, and greenstone if not. The protolith is either a Rocks, Metamorphic Terminology. Summary "This volume presents a complete nomenclature of metamorphic rocks based on the recommendations of the IUGS Subcommission. Twelve multi-authored sections explain how to derive the correct names for metamorphic rocks and processes, and discuss the rationale and background behind the more important terms.

The BGS Rock Classification Scheme (RCS) is a corporate standard setting out a practical, logical and robust system for classifying and naming geological materials as they appear at the scale of a single exposure, hand specimen, or thin section. Metamorphic Bedrock.In Greek, "meta" means change and "morphe" means form or shape. Your students will be familiar with this word because of "Power Rangers" (who change characteristics). So it is with metamorphic rocks. The crystals of a metamorphic rock change physically and chemically through the process of metamorphism.

Image taken Metamorphic rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks, but have been changed (metamorphosed) as a result of intense heat and/or pressure within the Earth s crust. They are crystalline and often have a squashed (foliated or banded) texture. Marble (metamorphosed limestone) is made of The Dalradian and Ordovician Silurian metamorphic basement rocks of southwest Scotland and Northern Ireland host a number of base-metal sulphide-bearing vein deposits associated with kilometre-scale fracture systems. Fluid inclusion microthermometric analysis reveals two distinct fluid types are present at more than half of these deposits. Changes in rock caused the heat from a near magma. Migmatite. Type of Foliation: A rock exhibiting both igneous and metamorphic rock characteristics. Such rocks may form when light- colored silicate minerals melt and than crystallize, while the dark silicate minerals remain solid. The oldest rocks in Britain are found in NW Scotland and the western isles. This ancient Lewisian gneiss is almost 3,000 million years old! The Scottish Highlands are mainly formed from metamorphic rocks formed around 400-450 million years ago.

Sep 28, 2011 Since they were muds and sandstones, there have been some metamorphic reactions producing chlorite, but they are still low grade, greenschist facies rocks. As you move Northwest into higher grade rocks (biotite, garnet zones), new minerals appear in a regular sequence and the texture of the rocks change, becoming more schist-like.
