2. Rocks are grouped as having quartz, feldspar, calcite, and dolomite as chief light-colored minerals or serpentine, biotite, pyroxene, and amphibole as chief dark-colored minerals.
3. Structures are categorized as directional/foliated or nondirectional without foliation, and the degree of metamorphism is classified as contact, slaty, phyllitic, schistose, gneissic, or gran
