DIC_ROCK_ALL (3677 rows)
Dictionary table based on the entire version 3 of the BGS Rock Classification Scheme and is populated directly from the 3 supplying tables (BGS.ROCK_NAME_V3, BGS.ROCK_COMPOSITE and BGS.DIC_ROCK_DUMMY). It contains both the base rock names and addditional codes required for specific application, eg. composite names for use on digital geological maps. It is formally approved as the official source of ALL database codes to be used in BGS corporate databases and MUST be followed.

| 1921 | MIGM | RN | Migmatitic rock - A megascopically composite rock consisting of two or more petrographically different parts, one of which is the country rock in a more or less metamorphic stage, the other is of pegmatitic, aplitic, granitic or generally plutonic appearance. Migmatitic rocks contain leucosomes, mesosomes and melanosomes. Leucosomes are defined as being of variable scale and comprising the leucocratic, quartzofeldspathic or feldspathic fraction of the rock. Mesosome is the part of the rock having the appearance of an ordinary metamorphic rock, that is schist or gneiss, and is generally of intermediate colour between the leucosome and melanosome. The melanosome is the melanocratic, mafic-rich fraction of the migmatitic rock, complementary to the leucosome. The neosome comprises both the leucosome and the melanosome. Most migmatitic rocks occur in middle to upper amphibolite facies and granulite facies terrains. They may be produced by partial melting, injection or solid state diffusion processes.
