It is Schist
- Amphibolite - Eclogite - Gneiss - Greenstone - Hornfels - Marble - Migmatite - Phyllite - Quartzite (Metaquartzite) - Schist - Slate - Soapstone
Pennsylvania is home to quartzite, slate, marble, phyllite, gneiss, and schist
Shale can metamorphose into slate, which can metamorphose into phyllite, which can metamorphose into schist, which can metamorphose into gneiss.
shale → slate → phyllite → schist → gneiss
Gneiss is a high grade metamorphic rock, the product of various rock types being exposed to intense pressures and heat under the surface of the Earth. Orthogneiss is a gneiss whose parent rock was igneous, and paragneiss is a gneiss whose parent rock was sedimentary.
Not a mineral but a rock. Schist comes asfter phyllite ut before gneiss.
No. Phyllite can metamorphose into schist and then into gneiss.
Four rocks formed by metamorphic grade are slate, phyllite, schist and gneiss. Slate and pnyllite are low grade; schist is a medium grade; and gneiss is a high grade rock.

No, but slate and gneiss are both a type of metamorphic rock. Slate will also turn into Gneiss, eventually, if metamorphosing continues. The series is Shale (sedimentary) >> Slate (metamorphic) >> Phyllite >> Schist >> Gneiss
Shale > Slate > Phyllite > Schist > Gneiss > Migmatite > Complete Melt

"Foliated" rocks are usually metamorphic rocks like phyllite, slate, schist, and gneiss.
Shale can metamorphose into slate, which can metamorphose into phyllite, which can metamorphose into schist, which can metamorphose into gneiss.
The first metamorphic rock to form from shale is slate. With further metamorphosis you get phyllite, then schist, then gneiss.
Slate, gneiss, skarn, phyllite, hornfels, amphibolite, schist, quartzite, marble, and granulite are all metamorphic rocks.
As you increase the temperature and pressure of Shale it metamorphism occurs. It changes in this order: Shale > Slate > Phyllite > Schist > Gneiss > Migmatite
