What are four examples of metamorphic rock?
Slate, hornfels, schist, gneiss.
Could contact metamorphism change a shale into a phyllite?
No. Contact metamorphism will most likely alter shale into hornfels. Phyllite is regionally metamorphosed slate, and slate is metamorphosed shale.
What are the characteristics of Hornfels?
Hornfels is a type of rock that is metamorphic. They usually have bands and fine grain, and can come in different colors, such as light gray and dark gray.
What is the texture of hornfels?
I too would like an answer to this question as it seems hornfels could be of varying grade dependant on the temperature. The facies of contact metamorphism progress in temperature at relatively low pressure from the Albite-Epidote Hornfels Facies to the Hornblende Hornfels Facies, to the Pyroxene Hornfels Facies. It seems that hornfels do have differant grades.
10 examples of metamorphic rocks?
- Amphibolite - Eclogite - Gneiss - Greenstone - Hornfels - Marble - Migmatite - Phyllite - Quartzite (Metaquartzite) - Schist - Slate - Soapstone
Slate schist genisis and hornfels are rocks?
They are all metamorphic rocks.
What are four examples of metamorphic rock?
Slate, hornfels, schist, gneiss.
What is the name for the rock hornfels?
sandstone, shale,slate, limestone and diabase
What is the original name for the rock hornfels?
sandstone, shale,slate, limestone and diabase
Could contact metamorphism change a shale into a phyllite?
No. Contact metamorphism will most likely alter shale into hornfels. Phyllite is regionally metamorphosed slate, and slate is metamorphosed shale.
3 metamorphic rocks?
Slate, gneiss, skarn, phyllite, hornfels, amphibolite, schist, quartzite, marble, and granulite are all metamorphic rocks.

Is quartzite an example of slate?
No. Quartzite and slate are two different varieties of metamorphic rock. They are quite different.
What color is hornfels?
Typically an opaque green, greenish-brown, brown or black color.
