actually, it truly depends on the type of rock the metamorphic rock formed from.
in other words, if it formed from a rock that held basalt in it, the rock has basalt in it.
remember that a metamorphic rock can be formed by more than two different types of rock (such as metamorphic quartz, slate, "fool's gold", plus granite).
it does not matter which class the metamorphic rock formed from (but if a m.
rock such as m. quartz, there is more likely a chance of finding a trace of basalt), as long as it formed from two different class of rock (this does not always apply, for there can be a metamorphic rock made from two or more metamorphic rocks).
i would get into geodes......
but that's another answer. :)

What are examples of igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous: * Obsidian * Granite * Diorite * Gabbro * Pumice * Basalt Metamorphic: * Slate * Phyllite * Gneiss * Mica schist * Marble * Quartzite * Granulite Sedimentary: * Limestone * Sandstone * Shale * Chert * Mudstone * Chalk

Is granite gneiss marble limestone shale or basalt an igneous rock?
These are sedimentary rocks. Sandstone is made of compressed grains of rock and sand. Shale is made of compressed bits of mud and clay. Limestone is made of compressed pieces of forms of calcium carbonate.
Is feldspar metamorphic igneous or sedimentary?
Feldspar is primarily an igneous rock-forming mineral, commonly found in intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks such as granite and basalt. However, feldspar can also be present in some metamorphic rocks as a result of the recrystallization of pre-existing feldspar minerals during metamorphic processes.
What rocks recrystallize to form metamorphic?
Sedimentary rocks such as shale, limestone, and sandstone can recrystallize to form metamorphic rocks like slate, marble, and quartzite, respectively. Igneous rocks like basalt and granite can also undergo recrystallization to form metamorphic rocks such as greenstone and gneiss.
Is basalt a igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
Is basalt igneous sedimentary metamorphic?
Basalt is an igneous rock . . . it is pretty much hardened lava.
Give one example of each rock category?
Igneus-Basalt Sedimentary-Limestone Metamorphic-Granite
What famous formation has been built with igneous rocks?
BASALT is for igneous. SLATE is for metamorphic. LIMESTONE is for sedimentary.
Is masomry stone a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks (such as sandstone and limestone), igneous rocks (such as granite and basalt), and metamorphic rocks (such as marble) are all used in masonry.

What are the types of the rock?
The types of rocks are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic.
What are non-examples of metamorphic rocks?
Sandstone, limestone, and shale are examples of sedimentary rocks. Granite, basalt, and obsidian are examples of igneous rocks.
Is feldspar metamorphic igneous or sedimentary?
Feldspar is primarily an igneous rock-forming mineral, commonly found in intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks such as granite and basalt. However, feldspar can also be present in some metamorphic rocks as a result of the recrystallization of pre-existing feldspar minerals during metamorphic processes.
What are two fates for an ignous rock?
An igneous rock can either be weathered and eroded into sediment, which may then become compacted and cemented to form a sedimentary rock, or it can be subjected to heat and pressure to recrystallize and create a metamorphic rock.
