Rock history of an exceptional piece of slate

Following on from looking at metamorphic rocks last week, today we investigate an exceptional piece of slate - 'Every rock tells a story; reading the rock history from an exceptional specimen of slate'.

This ELI gives a detailed analysis of structures of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic origin in a single rock specimen. The photo of the specimen is fully annotated in the activity.
