What is the protolith of phyllite?
The parent rock or protolith of phyllite is slate.
What is the texture of hornfels?
I too would like an answer to this question as it seems hornfels could be of varying grade dependant on the temperature. The facies of contact metamorphism progress in temperature at relatively low pressure from the Albite-Epidote Hornfels Facies to the Hornblende Hornfels Facies, to the Pyroxene Hornfels Facies. It seems that hornfels do have differant grades.
What is the meaning of Protolith in geology?
"protolith" refers to the original composition of an altered rock. for example, a basalt was the protolith to a rock thats presently a greenschist.

What are the protoliths of Schist and Anthracite coal?

What color is hornfels?
Typically an opaque green, greenish-brown, brown or black color.
