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.

| 951 | GRNFEL | RN | Granofels - A type of metamorphic rock with unknown protolith based on textural attributes. It lacks any obvious foliation and layering and is commonly characterised by a granoblastic texture. A granofels can occur at any metamorphic grade with a range of lithologies. Note that orthogranofels indicates a rock that is thought to have an igneous protolith, and paragranofels indicates a rock that is thought to have a sedimentary protolith.
