Metamorphic rocks are a bit harder to identify because they can share traits with the other rock types. Again, thinking about the formation process can help. Metamorphic rocks have been heated and squashed. This can lead the minerals in them to line up, creating ribbon-like layers called bands. These rocks are called foliated metamorphic rocks. You can see these bands in gneiss. If a metamorphic rock has fossils, you know it was formed from a sedimentary rock. Because of the heat and pressure, the fossil will be hard to recognize and out of shape.
Which of the following best describes foliated metamorphic rocks?
A
There are easily recognizable fossils.
B
The rock has ribbon-like layers of bands.
C
They have crystals like igneous rocks.
D
