Marble Metamorphic Facies at Eugene Todd blog

Marble Metamorphic Facies. In any given metamorphic setting there can be a variety of protolith types exposed to metamorphism. A simplified list of major metamorphic facies is given below. Marble is a type of metamorphic rock that is composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, usually calcite or dolomite. Marbles may have bands of different colors which were deformed into convoluted folds while the rock was ductile. This process generally increases the average grain size, which gives marble its. Many different styles of metamorphic facies are recognized, tied to different geologic and tectonic processes. While these rocks will be exposed to the same range of pressure and temperatures conditions within that setting, the metamorphic rock that results will depend on the protolith. Marble—marble is a metamorphic rock made up almost entirely of either calcite or dolomite, for which the protolith was either limestone or dolostone, respectively. The term marble in geology is restricted to metamorphic rocks in which the carbonate minerals have recrystallized. The boundaries between the facies are depicted as wide bands because they are gradational and approximate. Recognizing these facies is the most direct way to interpret the metamorphic history of rock.
