Types of Benmoreite and Charnockite

Some rocks according to their use or texture are classified into different types. Know more about Benmoreite Texture and Charnockite Texture. Types of Benmoreite are Alkaline Basalt, Boninite, High Alumina Basalt, Mid Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB) and Tholeiitic Basalt whereas the types of Charnockite are Enderbite.During historic times, some rocks depending on their hardness were used to create Pictographs and Petroglyphs. Rocks which are hard were generally not used. Pictographs are paintings or drawings that have been placed or created on the surface of rock.
