What are 2 examples of non foliated rocks?
A quatzite and a marble
Are marble and quartzite foliated or nonfoliated?
Marble will not show noticeable foliation, although it undergoes some pressure during metamorphism. That is because marble composition is almost 100% calcite. Even calcite crystals realign themselves perpendicular to stress direction, the realignment is still unnoticeable. However, if there are platy minerals, such as mica, which is really uncommon, marble should show foliated texture.
What does foaliated and non foaliated mean?
