ROCK IDENTIFICATION LAB What type of rock is this? Where or how is it formed? Obsidian     Mafic (black) Extrusive Igneous Rock No crystals formed Glassy Very quick cooling molten rock (lava) What type of rock is this? Where or how is it formed? Basalt    Mafic Extrusive Igneous Rock Fine grained (some small crystals) Formed from dark dense lava  Pyroxene, plagioclase feldspar What type of rock is this? Where or how is it formed? Scoria     Mafic Extrusive Igneous Rock No crystals formed Forms as a frothy crust on the top of a lava flow or as material ejected from a volcanic vent and solidifying while airborne Many holes formed - gasses released What type of rock is this? Where or how is it formed? Pumice      Felsic Extrusive Igneous Rock No crystals formed Quick cooling molten rock (lava) Many holes formed - gasses released Floats on water What type of rock is this? Where or how is it formed? What type of rock is this? Where or how is it formed? Quartzite     Metamorphic Rock Non-Foliated Individual quartz grains have recrystallized but are too small too see Metamorphism of Sandstone What type of rock is this? Where or how is it formed? Marble     Metamorphic Non-Foliated Made of mostly small to medium sized calcite crystals Metamorphism of Limestone What type of rock is this? Where or how is it formed? Gneiss     Metamorphic Foliated – pink and grey alternating bands Medium to coarse grained texture Metamorphism of Granite What type of rock is this? Where or how is it formed? Slate     Metamorphic Rock Foliated Breaks into thin “slices” Metamorphism of Shale What type of rock is this? Where or how is it formed? Hornfels     Metamorphic Rock Non-foliated Fine grained crystals Metamorphism of clays or Shales Comparisons  Basalt vs Slate  Both dark colors  Basalt is  igneous and Slate is metamorphic Pumice vs Basalt  Both igneous made of quick cooling lava (extrusive)  Pumice is felsic and Basalt is mafic  Granite vs Gneiss  Both have course grains/crystals  Granite is igneous and Gneiss is metamorphic Comparisons  Scoria vs Pumice  Both are porous (have air bubbles/holes)  Scoria is mafic and Pumice is felsic  Obsidian vs Coal  Both are black, no crystals  Obsidian is igneous and Coal is sedimentary  Marble vs Limestone  Both are made of calcite  Marble is metamorphic and Limestone is sedimentary Comparisons  Slate vs Shale  Both thin slices, made of mud and clay, dark color  Slate is metamorphic (morphed from shale), Shale is sedimentary  Hornfels vs Slate  Both metamorphic rocks made from Shale  Hornfels is not foliated and Slate is foliated  Sandstone vs Quartzite  Both grainy and made of Quartz  Sandstone is sedimentary and Quartzite is metamorphic Comparisons  Limestone vs Marble  Both are made of calcite  Limestone is sedimentary and Marble is metamorphic  Conglomerate vs Limestone  Both sedimentary rocks formed in or near water  Conglomerate is clastic (made of pebbles cemented together by moving water) and Limestone is organic (made of shell coral, fecal debri found in shallow water)  Gneiss vs Granite Comparisons  Quartzite vs Sandstone  Both contain the mineral Quartz  Quartzite is metamorphic (pressure and heat), Sandstone is sedimentary (cemented together by water +sandstone or lime)  Coal vs Obsidian  Both are black and smooth and contain no crystals  Coal is sedimentary and Obsidian is igneous  Shale vs Slate  Both made of mud and clay (Slate is made from [...]... Felsic Intrusive Igneous Rock Coarse Grained - can see crystals Contains quartz and feldspar What type of rock is this? Where or how is it formed? Shale    Clastic Sedimentary Rock Thin, dark gray sheets – easily broken Formed from mud and clay being pressed together What type of rock is this? Where or how is it formed? Image Source Sandstone     Clastic Sedimentary Rock Light red/dark pink... waters What type of rock is this? Where or how is it formed? Conglomerate    Clastic Sedimentary Rock Red with rounded pebbles cemented together Formed near moving water What type of rock is this? Where or how is it formed?
