Common monomineralic metamorphic rocks are marble and quartzite although they do not need necessarily to be monomineralic.
Is marble monomineralic.
One is granite which is an igneous rock that is polymineralic the other is marble which is monomineralic and relatively homogeneous.
Examples would include the igneous rock anorthosite composed entirely of plagioclase feldspar and the metamorphic rock marble composed entirely of calcite.
Similar is the situation with their sedimentary protoliths limestone and sandstone which may be very pure.
Common monomineralic metamorphic rocks are marble and quartzite although they do not need necessarily to be monomineralic.
Monomineralic igneous rocks are dunite more than 90 olivine and anorthosite more than 90 plagioclase feldspar.
Two types of rocks with similar uniaxial compressive strength are chosen.
The mineral content and grain structure of two rock types are identified using petrographic thin sections.
Similar is the situation with their sedimentary protoliths limestone and sandstone which may be very.
Monomineralic applied to rocks composed of one mineral type only.
