A metamorphic example would be a quartzite (such as the one at the base of the Cambrian in Scotland), a magmatic example would be a Anorthosite (such as that forming the sugar loaf mountain near Trondheim in Norway), a metamorphic example would be a mica schist such as that forming the rocks causing Murchison Falls in Uganda. The Chalk of the white cliffs of Dover would be another example... there are probably more.
