860 LHZ  Lherzolite - A type of pyroxene-peridotite. In the Rock Classification Scheme, it is a pyroxene-peridotite with olivine 40 - 90%, orthopyroxene 5 - 55% and clinopyroxene 5 - 55% of olivine + orthopyroxene + clinopyroxene. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/06, section 5.1 and figs. 15, 16.  R  Lherzolite          GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  22-FEB-19    Coarse-grained, av. between 2-16mm normal crystalline intrusive rock; CI M>90%; olivine 40-90%, orthopyroxene 5-55%, clinopyroxene 5-55% of Ol+Opx+Cpx, +/- amphibole  C 
861 LIGN  Lignite - A type of coal. It is a member of the pure humic coal series. The members of the pure humic coal series can be ranked in order as peat (the unlithified form), lignite, bituminous-coal, and anthracite (the lithified forms) based on increasing carbon content and decreasing volatile content. Lignite is a consolidated, dull, soft brown to black coal with many readily discernible plant fragments set in a finer-grained organic matrix. It tends to crack and fall apart on drying. Lignite may be further classified into brown-lignite and black-lignite. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 6.1, table 16 and fig. 10.  A  Lignite          GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19    Lithified soft brown/black coal, mixture of a wide range of plant debris many individually discernable. Fine-grained 0.032-2mm organic matrix. 60 to 75% carbon, dry, ash-free. Volatiles 46 to 63%. Partly carbonised, cracks & breaks on drying.  C 
862 LITMGE  Lithomarge - One of the hydroxides and oxides of alumina. It consists essentially of hydrated silicates of alumina or kaolinite minerals. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 9.2.  R  Lithomarge          GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  13-MAR-19    Sediment or sedimentary rock >50% hydrated silicates of alumina or kaolinite minerals, dominantly clay-grade particles <0.004mm.  C 
863 LMBST  Lime-boundstone - A type of limestone, classified on the basis of its biogenic texture. It is a limestone in which the original components were bound and encrusted together by the action of plants and animals in the position of growth (e.g. reef limestones). British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 3.1, table 3 and fig. 6.  R  Lime-boundstone          GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19    Sedimentary rock with components >50% calcite/aragonite. Original components bound/encrusted by action of plants/animals in growth position (reef limestones). Component size not defined.  C 
864 LMFST  Lime-framestone - A type of limestone, classified on the basis of its biogenic texture. It is a type of reef rock consisting of a rigid framework of colonies, shells or skeletons. Internal cavities are filled with fine sediment. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 3.1, table 3 and fig. 6.  R  Lime-framestone          GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19    Sedimentary rock with components >50% calcite/aragonite. Fine 0.032-0.25mm sediment fills cavities in framework of colonies of shells or skeletons. Component size not defined.  C 
865 LMGST  Lime-grainstone - A type of limestone, classified on the basis of its depositional texture. It is a grain-supported limestone with little matrix (mud-grade material smaller than 32 µm). British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 3.1, table 3 and fig. 6.  R  Lime-grainstone          GRBA  24-FEB-00  TMCM  08-MAR-19    Grain-supported Sedimentary rock with components >50% calcite/aragonite. <15% matrix, (particles <0.032mm). Component size not defined.  C
