Table 1. 5 Geological classification of metamorphic rocks It has been estimated that the earth's crust is made up of about 95% igneous rocks，about 5% sedimentary rocks and an insignificant proportion of metamorphic rocks. This does not， however，give a completely true picture of th...
A functional,diagnostic classification of fault rocks is introduced, based on our experience from investigation and construction of rockstructures such as dams, slopes andtunnels, and consideration of the results of recent research.Gunter Riedmüller...

The international geological time scale (GTS) is a hierarchical classification of rocks into chronostratigraphic units, each representing the rocks that were formed during a specified time interval. From:Encyclopedia of Quaternary Science (Second Edition),2013 ...
The geologic time scale is the “calendar” for events in Earth history. The enumeration of those geologic time units is based on stratigraphy, which is the correlation and classification of rock strata. The fossil forms that occur in the rocks provide the chief means of establishing a geologic...
Capellini was the first titular chair of geology funded by the new-born Italian state in Bologna. European travels reinforced Capellini's intention to create a great geological museum designed to store types and standards of fossils, rocks, lithic tools, and materials used for geological mapping, ...

The geological structure classification is also grounded on mesoscopic cohesiveness. Three schemes are involved; which are brittle; ductile, and brittle/ductile. The former is the brittle; which is formed by loss of cohesion across a mesoscopic discrete surface. Second, ductile is shaped deprived of...
(TTG). The two types of rocks are generally enriched in large ion lithophile elements Rb, Ba, Th, U and K, and depleted in high field strength elements Nb, Ta, P and Ti, showing the characteristics of island arc magmatic rocks. The geochemical characteristics of the TTG rocks show ...
