A foliated dense rock that has light and dark colored banding?
gneiss
Why is marble an important type of metamorphic rock?
It is non-foliated, that is, it does not have a texture of sheet like layers or banding of mineral layers, making a very strong building material.
What is composed of alternating bands of light and dark silicate minerals?
Gneiss shows such banding. Alternating bands are known to Geologists as Gneissose Banding, and is used to instantly classify the metamorphic rock.
What is a metamophic rock?
a metamorphic rock is a rock that is formed from heat and pressure it can form from a sedimentary or igneous an example of a metamorphic rock is marble metamorphic rocks can have foliation like banding or layers.
What is laminated rock?
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 type of metamorphic texture has no banding?
No banding or alignment of a metamorphic rock's minerals would be consider non-foliated.
Is a metamorphic rock with no banding a nonfoliated rock?
Yes, the other type is a foliate rock with bands of minerals.
Which kind of metamorphic rock is massive and has no banding?
The type of metamorphic rock would be classified as a nonfoliated metamorphic rock, like quartzite and marble.
What type of rock do you fine fossils?
fossils are fine in metamorphic rock
What rock has a foliated dense rock that has light and dark colored banding?
Gneiss
What type of rock is pumice?
It is an igneous (volcanic rock).
What is the type of rock that is formed by fine particles?
Siltstone.
What is metamorphic rock with flattened band patterns?
Metamorphic rock displaying banding is referred to as foliated metamorphic rock.
What type of rock is White to gray medium soft fine grained rock?
Limestone

What is a foliated dense rock that has light and dark colored banding?

What type of rock is a stiltstone?
Siltstone is a fine-grained sedimentary rock consisting of consolidated silt.
