    This document provides a rock density table with standard ranges of density in kg/m3 for various rock types. The table includes common igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. Density ranges from a low of 1130 kg/m3 for coal to a high of 4130 kg/m3 for ultramafic rocks. The table notes that density parameters were estimated using land cover maps and published data from the Montafon region of Austria.
