| schist |
a medium- to coarse-grained, foliated (layered) metamorphic rock created by regional metamorphism to medium or high temperatures and shearing pres-sures. Commonly, schists include quartz, feldspars, and micas, but mineral compo-sition is not an essential factor in its definition. Schists are strongly foliated, with well-developed parallelism of more than 50% of the minerals present.
