Types of Epidosite and Gossan

Some rocks according to their use or texture are classified into different types. Know more about Epidosite Texture and Gossan Texture. Types of Epidosite are Alkaline Basalt, Boninite, High Alumina Basalt, Mid Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB), Tholeiitic Basalt, Basaltic trachyandesite, Mugearite and Shoshonite whereas the types of Gossan are Translocated gossan and Leakage gossan.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. Epidosite and Gossan were used for creating pictographs. Petroglyph is an image which is carved into a rock. These are images created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, picking, carving or abrading, as a form of rock art. Epidosite and Gossan were used for creating petroglyphs.
