Rock Types
This rock type list is meant to give a general identifier to the type of sample. Please note that we are not attempting a rigorous rock classification here (in part because such efforts can be quite difficult). Rather, the goal is to provide a list of identifiers that will have general meaning to any student of geology.
I expect that the "proper" way to do this may invite considerable discussion, so please add your comments.
