8. Metamorphic-Phylliteis a foliate metamorphic rock that is made up mainly of very fine-grained mica. The surface of phyllite is typically lustrous and sometimes wrinkled. It is intermediate in grade between slate and schist

9. This rock I found it in Bass Lake and the area where this big rock was, was full of many tall trees. There was also a river where there was also more rocks pilled up together. The colors of this rock are brown, black and it has a little bit of white too.

10. Igneous –Pegmatitie is a light-colored, extremely coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock. It often contains rare minerals that are not found in other parts of the magma chamber.

11. Pegmatitie-I found this rock in the Yosemite National Park and the colors of this rock are black, gray, and white. This rock seems like a stripped rock because it has all those different line patterns. I found this rock by a stream as well and it was very stuck to the ground. There were smaller rocks surrounding it, but it was mostly surrounded my many different sizes of rocks.
