What sort of rock is pictured above?
A) Marmot #2
B) Sediment that isn’t rock yet. The layers are alternating silt and
sand from deposition from landslides off the Olympic Peninsula into
the trench offshore.
C) Igneous; The layers were caused by flow processes during the
eruption that released this.
D) Metamorphic; The rock separated into layers as it was cooked
and squeezed deep in a mountain range.
E) Sedimentary; The layering was caused by changes in the flow
velocity of the river that deposited the material

Feedback: The large crystals, intergrown nature, and separate
dark and light layers all point to metamorphism, deep inside a
mountain range. Rapid cooling in volcanic eruptions gives tiny
crystals, not the big, pretty ones here. You can see the former sand
grains or other-sized pieces in sediment and sedimentary rocks. And
marmot doo-doo consists of small, dark pellets, akin to big rabbit
doots, and usually isn’t considered to be rock.
