LINKS There are few worthwhile links to web sites about metamorphic rocks. As more web sites are developed, their links will be added to this page. The best are listed below.
Atlas of Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks, Minerals, and Textures This is a product of the University of North Carolina, and mainly consists of microscopic views of metmorphic rock textures. The images are excellent, and some are included on the Metamorphic Rocks page of this web site, Metamorphic Rocks Tour. The address is:

Metamorphic Rocks This is a product of the United State Geological Survey. It is simple and straightforward, and provides solid information on the processes of metamorphism and classification of metamorphic rocks. The address is:
