Sandstones
Low grade:
diagenesis >> incipient metamorphism: 100o-150oC
• High grade: anatexis
formation of partial melt: 750o-850oC
Original nature of the rock before metamorphism
• PROTOLITH:
Higher grade than Slate, with incipient Foliation, shiny surface; almost all are meta shales, metamudstones
Phyllonite:
Higher grade than slate, phyllonite; characterized by distinct metamorphic foliation, abundant platy minerals, some segregation into layers common
Schist
Low grade metamorphic rocks with partly to well-developed cleavage; almost all are meta shales, metamudstones.
Slate, Argillite:
Pelitic schist rich in garnet, biotite, & quartz.
Garnet-Biotite Schist
High grade metamorphic rock; varies widely in composition and mineral mode; characterized by distinct compositional banding in most cases
Gneiss:
Metamorphosed quartzite or chert; very fine grained, sugary texture
Quartzite
Metamorphosed limestone or dolostone. Typically unfoliated, granular crystalline rocks
Marble:
“Mixed Rock”, high grade gneiss in which felsic bands = granitic melt, mafic areas = melting residue, or host into which melts intruded
Migmatite:
Very high grade metamorphic rock; typically banded, foliat
Granulite:
Like granulite, but lacking any preferred orientation, platy mineral
Granofels:
Igneous Protolith
Ortho-
Sedimentary Protolit
