No. Tuff may have depositional layers, but this is not the same as foliation, which is a charactersitic of metamorphic rock.
Nope
Metamorphic rocks can be categorized into two main categories: foliated and non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of mineral grains, while non-foliated metamorphic rocks lack this layered structure.
No, Tuff Hedeman is alive.
Gneiss is a foliated metamorphic rock, meaning it has visible layers or bands of different minerals. These layers are formed due to the intense pressure and temperature conditions that gneiss undergoes during the metamorphic process.
Non foliated rocks, such as marble, form from limestone, a common type of sedimentary rock. Foliated rocks form from metamorphic or igneous rocks. Non Foliated rocks are more brittle than foliated rocks making them more susceptible to breakage.

Diamond is non-foliated.
Well foliated rocks have layers and non foliated does not have layers.
The metamorphic rock, slate, is considered foliated.
Talc is a foliated mineral. Foliated minerals have a layered or banded structure due to the alignment of mineral grains, giving them a distinct sheet-like appearance.
Nope
foliated
Rock salt is not foliated.
The presence of aligned minerals in the rock determines if it is foliated or non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have minerals that are arranged in layers or bands, while non-foliated rocks do not show any preferred orientation of minerals. The amount of pressure and temperature the rock experiences during metamorphism also influences whether it will develop a foliated or non-foliated texture.
Marble is non-foliated.
Foliated or non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of minerals, while non-foliated rocks do not exhibit this feature.
