Schists

The geology of the ecoregion is characterized by Precambrian metamorphic rocks such as schists, amphibolites, quartzites, and gneiss. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Whilst the country to the north-east of the lakes is mostly composed of rocks, of great age, geologically, such as schists, quartzites, and old dolerytic rocks, with newer but still ancient trachytes, that to the south-west of them is formed principally of recent volcanic tufas and lavas, the irruption of which has not yet ceased. ❋ Thomas Belt (1855)

A large zone of schists runs south-west to north-east across the park, dissected in places by tributaries of the watercourses which run parallel to it. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Weathering also left a gigantic sheet of hard iron-quartzite jutting out of the eroded piedmont schists and granite gneiss. ❋ Unknown (2008)

According to the investigations of these expeditions, South Victoria Land consists of a vast, ancient complex of crystalline schists and granitic rocks, large extents of which are covered by a sandstone formation ( "Beacon Sandstone," Ferrar), on the whole horizontally bedded, which is at least 1,500 feet thick, and in which Shackleton found seams of coal and fossil wood (a coniferous tree). ❋ Unknown (2009)

It is, therefore, tolerably certain that the underlying older formation of gneisses, crystalline schists and granites, etc., is of Archæan age, and belongs to the foundation rocks. ❋ Unknown (2009)

A first cursory examination of the material was enough to show that the specimens from Mount Betty and Scott's Nunatak consist exclusively of granitic rocks and crystalline schists. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The Park consists of a lateritic peneplain, with rock outcrops of quartz, schists and gneisses. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The Southern Metasedimentary Mountains in North Carolina contain rocks that are not as strongly metamorphosed as the gneisses and schists of 66d. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Precambrian metamorphic rocks consisting of gneisses and schists, and sedimentary rocks of the Precambrian Ocoee series are predominant, while younger sedimentary rocks are found in the Appalachian Valley. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The schistose rocks from Scott's Nunatak are streaked, and, in part, very fine-grained quartz diorite schists. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The mixed geology of this region includes the highest portions of the limestone plateau, areas of schists, slates and quartzites, and large masses of granite that form the most prominent peaks. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Geologically, the island consists of gneiss and argillaceous schists, with no trace of fossils, showing that the island is, like the Falkland Islands, a surviving fragment of some greater land-mass now vanished, most probably indicating a former extension of the Andean system. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Mica schists do not occur among the specimens from this mountain. ❋ Unknown (2009)

These are principally schists, gneisses and quartzite. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Gneiss and schists containing relatively uniform micas, with important amphibolite inclusions, are the dominant metamorphic rocks. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Grogan Fault, along which much of the main channel of Redwood Creek flows, is a major structural feature within the park, separating well foliated meta-sedimentary schists and meta-basalts on the south-west of Redwood Creek from the unmetamorphosed sedimentary rocks of the Franciscan to the north-east. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Seram is part remnant crustal fragment, probably from the Australian continent, and part of the volcanic Inner Banda Arc. Consequently, the surface geology of Seram is complex, consisting of older metamorphic schists and gneiss, younger volcanics, and recent alluvium. ❋ Unknown (2008)

All three form in metamorphic rocks (rocks that are changed by intense heat and pressure), specifically in schists and gneisses that were formed out of sedimentary rocks with a high clay content. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Constituted essentially of grey rock sediments, the Escuminac Formation (dating from 350-375 million years ago) is composed of alternating layers of thick sandstone, silt, and calcareous schists. ❋ Unknown (2008)

We [had to] [identify] schist in [science class] today. "Oh schist!" "Who says that?" ❋ MuhReeUh (2007)

"[Holy] [schist]!" ❋ Jamie Rowe (2008)

This [rock] is [a piece] of [schist]. ❋ 20paphonies (2016)

Mate, that is some [high grade] foliated [schist]! Get that dirty [low grade] schist out of my face. ❋ L A D (2008)

So [that crack] [wuz] [sum] good schist ❋ Chuck E Cheeze (2005)

Me: Let's go get some beer dude. How much do you got on it? Dude: I got a dollar on it Me: cmon [man stop] being so [schist] Me: Hey have you seen my wallet anywhere Friend: [Na man] hit up Joe he just left maybe he saw it Me: He isn't answering Friend: Dam that's schist ❋ Nitro2 (2010)

[Guy 1] - You are an [actual] dim-witted schist bucket. [Guy 2] - You are mean sometimes, man. ❋ Hottestpepperever (2023)
