Description
Geology of Scotland - Curved Gneiss in Lewis
Print Type: Engraving
Date: Circa 1850's
Origin: British
Dimensions: 10 x 6"
Subject: Scottland Sottish Geology
Notes & Literature: Gneiss is a common and widely distributed type of metamorphic rock. Gneiss is formed by high temperature and high-pressure metamorphic processes acting on formations composed of igneous or sedimentary rocks. Orthogneiss is gneiss derived from igneous rock (such as granite). Paragneiss is gneiss derived from sedimentary rock (such as sandstone). Gneiss forms at higher temperatures and pressures than schist. Gneiss nearly always shows a banded texture characterized by alternating darker and lighter colored bands and without a distinct foliation
