Phyllite Photomicrograph of thin section of phyllite (in cross polarised light) Fractured Duke stone showing phyllitic texture Phyllite. 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]
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 ...
Slate can be made into roofing slate, a type of roof tile which are installed by a slater. Slate has two lines of breakability—cleavage and grain—which make it possible to split the stone into thin sheets. When broken, slate retains a natural appearance while remaining relatively flat and easy to stack.
Terraria: Otherworld was a separate game in the series which was announced in February 2015 and planned for release later that year. [66] Otherworld tasked the player with trying to purify the world of the Corruption, which was to be achieved mainly by finding and activating "purifying towers" that push back the spread of the Corruption.

At depths greater than about 5 kilometers (3.1 mi), cataclasites appear; these are quite hard rocks consist of crushed rock fragments in a flinty matrix, which forms only at elevated temperature. At still greater depths, where temperatures exceed 300 °C (572 °F), plastic deformation takes over, and the fault zone is composed of mylonite .
The formation was originally designated as the Hondo Slate by Evan Just in his 1937 survey of pegmatites in northern New Mexico. [5] However, this name conflicted with other unit names, and it was renamed the Pilar Phyllite Member of the Ortega Formation by Arthur Montgomery in 1953 [6] Bauer and Williams promoted it to formation rank within the Vadito Group in their sweeping revision of the ...
