What is the protolith of hornfels?
Sandstone
Would you expect to find foliated or nonfoliated metamorphic rocks next to a lava flow?
. I would expect to find nonfoliated rock next to a lava flow because the rock can form when rock is subjected to high temperatures. Hornfels, which often forms when magma or lava touches other rock, is nonfoliated.
Where are hornfels found?
outside its everywhere you go (you drive on it)

What is hornfels made of?
Hornfels is a metamorphic rock formed by the contact between mudstone / shale, or other clay-rich rock, and a hot igneous body, and represents a heat-altered equivalent of the original rock. This process is termed contact metamorphism. Because pressure is not a factor in the formation of hornfels, it lacks the foliation seen in many metamorphic rocks formed under high pressure and temperature regimes. Pre-existing bedding and structure of the parent rock is generally destroyed during the formation of hornfels.
