NAMES OF ROCKS.
The following list was prepared in the geologic branch for the use of
geologic draftsmen to enable them to select appropriate symbols for
rocks that may be referred to in preliminary drawings by name only.
For sedimentary rocks dots and circles, parallel lines, and broken or
dotted lines are used; for metamorphic rocks short dashes arranged
without definite patterns; and for igneous rocks patterns composed of
short dashes, triangles, rhombs, crosses, and cross lines. All these
patterns are shown in Plate III.
_Sedimentary material._
[Including residual, detrital, eolian, glacial, organic, and
chemically precipitated material.]
