Is metaconglomerate foliated or non-foliated?

Metaconglomerate is classified as a non-foliated metamorphic rock. It forms from the metamorphism of conglomerate rock, where the large clasts remain distinct and do not align in a preferred orientation, which is characteristic of foliation. As a result, metaconglomerate typically exhibits a more granular texture without the layered appearance found in foliated rocks.
