A fossil is the preserved traces of a living organism from the past (plant, animal, etc.). It is generally preserved because of fast burial in an oxygen-poor environment with low heat and pressure. A foliated rock is a metamorphic rock that has gneiss banding as a result of high pressure and temeprature

Foliate has to do with leaves. (Hence the foliage of autumn when the leaves turn different colours.)

What are two textural divisions of metamorphic rocks and the conditions associated with each?

Metamorphic rocks are generally divided into two textural divisions: foliate and non-foliate. Foliate metamorphic rocks, such as schist and slate, exhibit a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of mineral grains under directed pressure, typically formed in high-pressure conditions. Non-foliate metamorphic rocks, like marble and quartzite, lack this layered texture and are usually formed under conditions of uniform pressure and high temperature, often from the metamorphism of limestone and sandstone, respectively.

Which foliate metamorphic rock has the smallest crystals?
