-- High metamorphic grade --

URI http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/metamorphicgrade/0001
Preferred label (en) High metamorphic grade
Definition (en) Protolith structures almost always obliterated, evidence of partial melting common. Includes rocks metamorphosed in high-temperature amphibolite, pyroxene hornfels, and medium to high-temperature eclogite facies. Mineral assemblages according to Fry (1984) Table 10-1: ultramafic-olivine, anthophyllite, cummingtonite, enstatite; mafic-hornblende, (diopside, garnet); calc-aluminous basic-plagioclase; pelite, semi-pelite -- K-feldspar, biotite, quartz, Al-minerals (garnet), migmatite.

URI http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/metamorphicgrade/0002
Preferred label (en) Low metamorphic grade
Definition (en) Metamorphic effects clearly visible, protolith structures typically still observable, includes rocks metamorphosed in greenschist, high-temperature blueschist, very low temperature eclogite facies. Mineral assemblages according to Fry (1984) Table 10-1: ultramafic-serpentine (talc, magnesite); mafic-chlorite, actinolite (garnet); calc-aluminous basic-albite, epidote; pelite, semi-pelite -- white mica, chlorite, quartz, biotite (garnet, Al-minerals).

History note (en) 2010-02-11 Add narrower relationship links by adding skos:narrower link in Protege, defining skos:narrower as inverse of skos:broader, calculating with Pellet reasoner to add inferred axioms, and using 'file/Export inferred axioms as ontology' in Protege.
History note (en) 2010-11-28 SMR replace URN identifiers with http URI identifiers according to CGI URI scheme (see https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/wiki/bin/view/CGIModel/PersistentIdentifiersInGeoSciMLServices)
