greenschist facies (sh)




One of the major divisions of the mineral facies classification of metamorphic rocks, encompassing the rocks that formed under fairly low temperatures (480-660 ¡ãF, or 250-350 ¡ãC) and pressure conditions and usually produced by Regional metamorphism.

The minerals commonly found in such rocks include quartz, orthoclase, muscovite, chlorite, serpentine, talc, and epidote; carbonate minerals and amphibole (actinolite) may also be present.
