17	+#*SSR	Metasedimentary rock - In the Rock Classification Scheme, a rock is classified within this category if it is known to be a metamorphic rock derived from a sedimentary protolith, either because of its lithological characteristics or its lithological associations. The class includes metasedimentary rock based on protolith name, metasedimentary rock based on modal composition, and metasedimentary rock based on textural attributes.

19	+#*TEX	Metasedimentary rock based on textural attributes - In the Rock Classification Scheme, a metasedimentary rock is classified within this category if neither the exact nature of the protolith nor the modal composition is known. This class includes paraschist, paragneiss, and paragranofels. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/02, section 3.3 and fig. 1.

20	+#MET	Metamorphic rock - In the Rock Classification Scheme, this high level class includes metasedimentary rock, metavolcaniclastic rock, meta-igneous rock, metamorphic rock with unknown protolith, mechanically broken and reconstituted rock, metasomatic-rock and hydrothermal-rock. Metamorphism encompasses all the solid state changes that occur between the upper and lower limits of metamorphism. Major changes in bulk composition are referred to as metasomatism.

22	+#UTEX	Metamorphic rock with unknown protolith based on textural attributes - In the Rock Classification Scheme, a metamorphic rock is classified within this category if neither the nature of the protolith nor the modal composition is known. This class includes slate, schist, gneiss, and granofels. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/02, section 6.1 and fig. 1.
