Laminated rock is a type of sedimentary rock structure that features laminae.
Laminae are representative of periods of sedimentation where thin beds with differing grain size, color or lithology are deposited.
They usually appear as a succesive sequence of parallel banding of 10mm or less in a rock sample or facies.

What is mylonite?
"Mylonite" is a term coined by Charles Lapworth in 1885 to describe a fine grained, well-laminated rock he had found in the Moine Thrust Zone of the Scottish Highlands. The term has come into general usage to indicate any foliated (and usually lineated) fine grained metamorphic rock which shows evidence for strong ductile deformation. The term is purely structural and conveys no indication of the mineralogy of the rock. Thus, a mylonite can be of any rock type.

How would you describe a gypsum rock?
1. By its physical properties... like its hardness... if its pure gyspum, it should be scratched by your finger nails. 2. Texture.... by looking and identifying the type of texture it has... is it chicken wife? Oblong? Just massive? 3. Is it laminated? Or just a massive bed. 4. By what form it is..... like is it Selestine? Is it rosette (desert rose)? Is it satin spar? Is it Alabaster form?

What is LVL?
Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is a material made of thick veneers laminated along the grain direction, hot pressed and glued, and then sawed. Compared with solid wood, LVL has the advantages of uniform structure, high strength and good dimensional stability, which can meet the application requirements of wood structure building, bridge, furniture and transportation. Main species: Masson pine laminated veneer, eucalyptus laminated veneer, Yunnan pine laminated veneer, Larch laminated veneer, poplar laminated veneer, bamboo bundle laminated veneer, bamboo and wood composite laminated veneer.
What rocks make schist?
Schist comes from shale. It is laminated , flaky, and found in parallel layers. The minerals in this rocks that have crystallized from the parent rock are visible.
Is chalk and shale the same thing?
No. Chalk is a variant of limestone, composed primarily of calcite. It is a carbonate sedimentary rock. Shale is a laminated sedimentary rock composed of silt and clay sized particles of mostly silicate mainerals. It is a clastic sedimentary rock.
