Metamorphic Rock Practice

This guide explores key metamorphic rocks, focusing on their foliated and non-foliated classifications. Foliated rocks include slate, phyllite, schist, and gneiss, each with distinct parent rocks. Non-foliated examples include marble, which originates from limestone and reacts with hydrochloric acid, and quartzite, derived from sandstone, with Baraboo quartzite containing significant hematite deposits. Additionally, anthracite coal, known for its shiny appearance, is formed from bituminous coal. Learn to identify and differentiate these rocks based on their characteristics and origins.
