For this section you will need metamorphic rock samples selected by your instructor. Locate these samples before you begin.
- Sample M1 has which metamorphic texture?
- Foliated
- Non-foliated
- Is grain size or composition more important to identify Sample M1?
- Grain size
- Composition
- What is the metamorphic rock name of sample M1?
- Sample M1 is an example of:
- high-grade of metamorphism
- intermediate-grade of metamorphism
- low-grade of metamorphism
- Identify a possible protolith for Sample M1.
- Sample M2 has which metamorphic texture?
- Foliated
- Non-foliated
