A mixture of sand and clay, mudstone, metamorphose (process of changing from one type of rock into a metamorphic rock) into gneiss rocks or schist rocks. The mudstones would change under heat and pressure to make the new Metamorphic rocks.

Either Igneous or Sedimentary. Metamorphic rocks form from either intense heat, intense pressure, or intense heat and pressure. So both Igneous and Sedimentary rocks can form Metamorphic Rocks.

Gneiss can form either from granite or schist. Schist itself a metamorphic rock which can often be traced back to sedimentary rocks such as shale.
