Dear all,
Yardley in the book "An Introduction
to Metamorphic Petrology" pag. 126 writes.........
....it becomes convenient for the description of metamorphosed
calcareous sediments
to divide them into two categories: marbles in which carbonates are
abundant; and calc-silicates
with little or no carbonate.
Can anyone suggest me if a rock made up of calcite ( 30%) ,
and wollastonite+diopside+
grossular+ quartz (70%) can be classified as
calc-silicate?
Thanks in advance,
Marcello Franceschelli
