hornfels (metamorphic rock, rock (inorganic material), ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Fine-grain silicate rock produced by contact metamorphism, where the rock has been baked and indurated by the heat of intrusive granitic masses and have been rendered massive, hard, splintery, and in some cases exceedingly tough and durable. |
