Rocks exhibiting foliation include the standard sequence formed by the prograde metamorphism of mudrocks; slate, phyllite, schist and gneiss. The slatey cleavage typical of slate is due to the preferred orientation of microscopic phyllosilicate crystals. In gneiss, the foliation is more typically represented by compositional banding due to ...

Phyllite (/ ˈ f ɪ l aɪ t / FIL-yte) is a type of foliated metamorphic rock formed from slate that is further metamorphosed so that very fine grained white mica achieves a preferred orientation. [1]
Better minor A commonly used term for the choice of minor suit opening bid with less than four cards, typically in five card major systems.

In this sense the term is a misnomer as a poor club suit (e.g. Jxx) may ...
The Haida carvings of Haida Gwaii along the coast of British Columbia are notable aboriginal art treasures created from a type of a hard, fine black silt argillite, sometimes called "black slate". The black slate occurs only at a quarry on a Slatechuck Mountain in the upper basin of Slatechuck Creek, near the town of Skidegate on Graham Island.
In computer graphics, a texture atlas (also called a spritesheet or an image sprite in 2D game development) is an image containing multiple smaller images, usually packed together to reduce overall dimensions. [1] An atlas can consist of uniformly-sized images or images of varying dimensions. [1]
Foliated metaconglomerate is created under the same metamorphic conditions that produce slate or phyllite, but with the parent rock being conglomerate, rather than clay. [2] The metaconglomerates of the Jack Hills of Western Australia are the source rocks for much of the detrital zircons that have been dated to be as old as 4.4 billion years.
