In geology, a facies is a body of rock with specified characteristics.
blue schist facies
Masked facies is the term meaning inability or reduced ability to show facial expressions. It is a sign of Parkinson's.
Most regional metamorphic rocks are formed in conditions within this range of geothermal gradients, passing through the greenschist facies to the amphibolites
Is fossil which is present in more than one facies or environment. Body of rock with features that distinguish it from other bodies of rock
It's eclogite facies.
Prima facie is Latin for "at first sight". (The word facies in Latin is literally "form" or "shape", but has extended meanings of "face" and "appearance").
Zeolite and prehnite-pumpellyite facies are characteristic of burial metamorphism. These facies typically occur at low to medium pressures and temperatures, representing the early stages of metamorphism when sediments are first buried and compacted.
A hydrochemical facies in hydrogeology refers to a distinct group of water samples with similar chemical compositions. These facies are used to classify groundwater based on their major ion concentrations, providing insights into the geochemical processes and water-rock interactions occurring in the subsurface. By studying hydrochemical facies, hydrogeologists can better understand groundwater quality, flow patterns, and sources of contamination.
Facies are your facial expressions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facies), which can indicate conditions such as Williams syndrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_syndrome) and other forms of mental retardation. Coarse facies, in particular, are often associated with mental retardation. Coarse facies simply means that the facial expressions are coarse, which could represent congenital hypothyroidism (http://bdoza.blogspot.com/2008/12/casecongenital-hypothyroidism.html) or spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (http://www.nature.com/ejhg/journal/v13/n5/fig_tab/5201339f1.html). Coarse facies, while often associated with mental retardation, is not the sole indicator, however, and other tests should be run as well.

Facies (genitive: faciei, f).
The metamorphic facies associated with the subduction of oceanic crust and sediments that forms under very high pressure and moderately low temperature is called the "blueschist facies." This facies typically develops at depths of around 15 to 30 kilometers, where the pressure is significantly high, but the temperatures remain relatively low compared to other metamorphic environments. The presence of minerals such as glaucophane and lawsonite characterizes this facies, indicating the unique conditions of subduction zones.
