schist

Nor does their almost universally volcanic composition favour the admission that they are the wrecks of sunken continents;--if they had originally existed as mountain-ranges on the land, some at least of the islands would have been formed, like other mountain-summits, of granite, metamorphic schists, old fossiliferous or other such rocks, instead of consisting of mere piles of volcanic matter.

"You would not have to look long among those fissures of slaty schist without finding peptites of considerable value."

At the Western Queen, the geology is steep west dipping and comprises of intercalated sheared amphibolites of mafic to ultramafic composition with thin iron formation horizons, komatiitic basalt, dolerite sills, and talc chlorite schists. Later dolerite and pegmatitic felsic intrusives cut across the amphibolites and gold mineralisation.

The samples selected were gneisses, schists and amphibolites.

The large-scale physical model was built with a total of six strata including one diabase, three green schists, and two coal seams, and all the strata are inclined at an angle of 0[degrees] with respect to the horizontal structure, to simulate near horizontal geological structures.

This value is very low compared to the mean of [X.sub.lf] values obtained for each land use and is associated with the susceptibility of the unaltered parent material of the soils: the schists, limestones, and quartzites.

Beryl crystals are found within stream sediments transecting schists in the northeast of Eskisehir, western Anatolia.

It's great fun to try to figure out rock identities even as the water-polished pebbles afford an endless variety of gneisses, granitic rocks, schists, shales, black mudstones, and white quartzite.

These soils have been suggested to have generally developed from Schists of Dharwarian formation, Basalts of Deccan trap formation and Limestone of Bhima formation.
