Types of Migmatite and Epidosite

Some rocks according to their use or texture are classified into different types. Know more about Migmatite Texture and Epidosite Texture. Types of Migmatite are Diatexites and Metatexites whereas the types of Epidosite are Alkaline Basalt, Boninite, High Alumina Basalt, Mid Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB), Tholeiitic Basalt, Basaltic trachyandesite, Mugearite and Shoshonite.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. Migmatite and Epidosite 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. Migmatite and Epidosite were used for creating petroglyphs.
