单词	hornfels
释义	hornfels /ˈhɔːnfɛlz / noun [mass noun] A dark, fine-grained metamorphic rock consisting largely of quartz, mica, and particular feldspars.The slate, where thermally metamorphosed, has been turned into siliceous hornfels and mica schist.... As a result, contact metamorphic minerals grow in random interlocking patterns giving rise to hornfels, a tough rock with no direction along which it will split preferentially. These are actually pseudomorphs of sericite (a fine-grained white mica) after cordierite and are found included in hornfels or slate as a product of contact metamorphism. Origin Mid 19th century: from German, literally 'horn rock'.
