Questão Responda
Granite Igneous -Intrusive Intrusive, Light colored because it has greater amounts of Silica.
Diorite Igneous - Intrusive Intrusive, Mineral compositions between Granitic and Basaltic. Gray to Dark Grey in color usually. (Andesitic)
Gabbro Igneous - Intrusive Intrusive, Dark, course-grained. Chemically similar to Basalt. (Basaltic)
Basalt Igneous- Extrusive  Extrusive, Dark-colored because it has greater amounts of Iron and Magnesium, more dense (Basaltic)
Andesite Igneous - Extrusive Extrusive, Intermediate between Basalt and Rhyolite. (Andesitic)
Rhyolite Igneous - Extrusive Extrusive, but silica-rich, usually lighter in color and density. (Granitic)
Obsidian Igneous- Extrusive Extrusive, Glassy, usually black (Granitic, actually high in silica, just doesn’t follow the color rules)
Pumice Igneous - Extrucive Extrusive, Light-colored and light mass with holes caused by gas bubbles that were released when it was formed (Granitic)
Scoria Igneous - Extrusive Extrusive, Dark-colored and somewhat lighter in mass with holes caused by gas bubbles that were released when it formed (Basaltic)
Gneiss Metamorphic - Foliated Foliated, Parent rock most likely Granite or another Metamorphic rock.
Schist Metamorphic - Foliated Foliated, Flattened grains, most likely formed from an Igneous rock like Granite but was not changed enough to form Gneiss. Phyllite Metamorphic - Foliated Foliated, starts to form layers.  The larger piece in this bin.
Slate Metamorphic - Foliated Foliated, Parent rock most likely Shale. (No Fossils will be found because of the metamorphism)
Marble Metamorphic - Nonfoliated Nonfoliated, Parent rock most likely Limestone.
Quartzite Matamorphic - Nonfoliated Nonfoliated, Parent rock most likely Sandstone.
Shale Sedimentary - Detrial Detrital, formed from the sediment Clay. (Fossils may be found)
Sandstone Sedimentary - Detrital Detrital, formed from the sediment Sand.
Conglomerate Sedimentary - Detrital Detrital, formed from pebbles.  If the gravel is rounded (pebbles), it is called Conglomerate.
Breccia Sedimentary - Detrital Detrital, formed from gravel.  If the gravel has angular, jagged edges it is called Breccia.
Limestone Sedimentary - Chemical Chemical, formed from the solution with Calcium Carbonate, which usually is formed from the dissolved mineral Calcite. Calcite is the clear crystal in this bin. (Fossils may be found in small amounts)
Halite Sedimentary - Chemical Chemical, formed from the solution of Sodium Chloride (Salt), also called Rock Salt. Gypsum: formed from the solution of Calcium Sulphate.
Fossil-rich Limestone Sedimentary - Organic Organic, contains an abundance of casts or remains of fossils. (Also known as Fossiliferous Limestone)
Conquina Sedimentay - Organic Organic, contains mostly shells cemented together.
Chalk Sedimentary - Organic Organic, contains microscopic pieces of shells, calcium carbonate.
Coal Sedimentary - Organic Organic, contains compacted dead plants.  Can be burned to provide energy.
