NO, a metamorphic rock is a new rock formed when existing rockes are spueezed or heated. If you were to find a dinosaur bone in a rock it would be a sedimentary rock, which is a rock formed by layers of sediment, Which means a dinousar bone could of been on top of a layer of sediment and another layer of sediment went on top of that, formed a rock that had a dinosaur bone in it.

When the metamorphic rock schist is heated and squeezed it forms what?

When schist is further heated and squeezed, it can form gneiss, another type of metamorphic rock. Gneiss is characterized by its banded texture and high-grade metamorphism.


What foliated metamorphic rock is texturally intermediate between slate and schist?

Phyllite is a foliated metamorphic rock that is texturally intermediate between slate and schist. It exhibits a greater degree of metamorphism than slate but not as much as schist, resulting in a medium-grain texture with a glossy sheen.


What type of metamorphism would result in a schist?

Regional metamorphism would result in the formation of schist. This type of metamorphism occurs under high pressure and temperature conditions over large areas, such as during the collision of tectonic plates. Schist forms from the recrystallization of existing rocks like shale or slate, resulting in distinct foliation and often containing minerals like mica or quartz.


What would distinguish marble from Schist?

Marble is a nonfoliated metamorphic rock made of carbonate minerals, particularly calcite. It is formed by the metamorphism or limestone. Gneiss is a foliated metamorphic rock made of silicate minerals such as quartz and feldspars, and micas. It forms from the metamorphism of granite or schist.


What is the difference between schist and phyllite?

Texture and metamorphic grade. Schist has visible crystals, while phyllite has crystals too small to be seen with the eye or barely seen. This is a result of schist having higher grade metamorphism.
