Hornfels (German, meaning "hornstone") is the group designation for a series of contact metamorphic rocks that have been baked and indurated by the heat of intrusive igneous masses and have been rendered massive, hard, splintery, and in some cases exceedingly tough and durable. Most hornfels are fine-grained, and while the original rocks (such as …
DetailsHornfels is the group name for a set of contact metamorphic rocks that have been baked and hardened by the heat of intrusive igneous masses and have been rendered massive, hard, splintery, and in some cases exceedingly tough and durable. These properties are due to fine grained non-aligned crystals with platy or prismatic habits, characteristic of …
DetailsHornfels - Mining Fundamentals. Hornfels are a type of metamorphic rock, having a dense, compact, and fine grained structure. The formation of these rocks is the result of contact metamorphism of shales and basalts. In some type of hornfels, distinctive rounded patches, composed of coarse-crystalline material, are seen; these are called spotted ...
DetailsThe influence of the chemical composition of the initial rock on hornfels mineralogy can be shown by diagrams such as Fig. 1, which indicates the compositional range from shale to siliceous carbonate.These rocks usually contain sufficient SiO 2 for the formation of quartz in addition to other minerals. Differing mineralogies then depend upon other major chemical …
DetailsHornfels. Hornfels is a fine-textured metamorphic rock formed by contact metamorphism.Contact metamorphism occurs when a mass of hot magma intrudes into preexisting rock, whether by injecting itself into a crack or by ascending in a large body (e.g., pluton).Rock in close proximity to the magma is temporarily softened or melted and …

DetailsAbout Hornfels Hide. A fine-grained metamorphic rock composed of a mosaic of equidimensional grains without preferred orientation and usually formed by contact metamorphism. Porphyroblasts or relict phenocrysts may be present in the granoblastic matrix. See Also: calc-silicate hornfels, pelitic hornfels, magnesian hornfels.

DetailsCentral Segment. The Central Segment of the Bushveld roof extends from Magnet Heights south to the Tauteshoogte area (Fig. 1, 24°50′S to 25°19′S, ≈24°50′E).The area from about 25°05′S to 25°19′S (near Tauteshoogte and Roossenekal) was mapped by Von Gruenewaldt and the area north of that to Magnet Heights (25°19′S–24°50′S) by …
DetailsIn this paper, we attempt to determine the source of the hornfels used to make the famous Late Middle Pleistocene lithic industry from Dingcun in North China. By combining geological mapping and geochemical fingerprinting (μ-XRF), we demonstrate that the source of the hornfels was around the Dagudui Mountain, 7 km east of Dingcun. …
DetailsHornfels Hornfels is a metamorphic rock formed by the contact between mudstone / shale, or other clay-rich rock, and a hot igneous body, and represents a heat-altered equivalent of the original rock. This process is termed contact metamorphism.Because pressure is not a factor in the formation of hornfels, it lacks the foliation seen in many metamorphic rocks …
DetailsHornfels. Hornfels is a metamorphic rock formed by a special type of metamorphism called contact metamorphism. This means that a rock (clay rich in this case) comes into contact with an igneous intrusion so the rock heats up but no pressure is exerted. Because of this, hornfels is nonfoliated; there is no pressure to force the minerals into layers.
DetailsA hornfels is a thermally metamorphosed rock; hence, the textures of hornfelses are the result of crystallization—recrystallization at elevated temperatures and low to moderate pressures in the absence of directed pressure. Hornfelsic textures are dominated by non-directed features and contain the following textural elements.
DetailsHornfels is called so because of its exceptional toughness and texture both reminiscent of animal horns. These properties are due to a fine grained non-aligned crystals with platy or prismatic habits. Hornfels is the group designation for a series of contact metamorphic rocks that have been baked and indurated by the heat of intrusive igneous ...

DetailsGranulite hornfels make up the lower 50% of the aureole and hornblende hornfels the upper 50%, consistent with higher recrystallization temperatures closer to the underlying plutonic rocks that acted as a heat source (paleomagma chamber; see below). The margins of the aureole have predictable textures, such that classic granulite hornfels …
