Granofels
Granofels is a term referring to medium- to coarse-grained metamorphic rocks which have a granoblastic texture (having poorly formed, equi-granular crystal grains visible to the naked eye) and lack distinct foliation or lineation.[1] The granofels term encompasses rocks which are known under more specific names, such as marble or hornfels.[2]
