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.

| 319 | BSNFDI | RN | Basanitic-foidite - A type of foiditic-rock. In the Rock Classification Scheme, this name is used for a fine-grained crystalline igneous rock when the modal mineralogy is available, and the mineral mode plots in field 15b of the quartz - alkali feldspar - plagioclase - feldspathoid (QAPF) diagram. Basanitic-foidite and tephritic-foidite are distinguished by the amount of olivine in the CIPW norm: if normative olivine exceeds 10% the rock is basanitic-foidite.

| 320 | BSNT | RN | Basanite (TAS) - A type of tephritic-rock, classified using the total alkali silica (TAS) classification. The TAS classification may be used if the mineral mode of a normal fine-grained crystalline rock cannot be determined due either to the presence of glass or to the fine-grained nature of the rock. The definition of basanite (TAS) is as shown in British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 5.2 and figs. 17b, 20. | Basanite (TAS) | C | GRBA | 24-FEB-00 | TMCM | 22-FEB-19 | R | |
