La dénomination des types peut se faire d'une manière géographique : exemple, pour le minerai de fer : «type Lorraine», ou mieux par une dénomination minéralogique ou géologique [...] par exemple : «Type oxydo-carbonaté oolithique dans des séries transgressives gréseuses», pour le gisement de manganèse de Tchiatoura [...] Cette dénomination [...] permet d'associer un type de minéral (oxydo-carbonaté) à un faciès pétrographique déterminé (oolithique). 3, record 1, French, - faci%C3%A8s%20p%C3%A9trographique

Recent petrographic studies suggest an earlier HP–LT [high-pressure, low-temperature] stage(white schist facies) only preserved in garnet … 2, record 2, English, - whiteschist%20facies
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
whiteschist: A fairly unusual metamorphic rock which contains talc and garnet and other minerals. It is very high in magnesium compared to other sorts of metamorphic rocks (which is part of why it contains talc) and its garnet tends to be higher in Mg [magnesium] than is normal for garnets in metapelites. It is thought to form under rather high pressure. 4, record 2, English, - whiteschist%20facies

Le faciès des schistes blancs (Chopin, 1984) se caractérise par l'association talc + disthène (équivalent à plus faible pression à la chlorite magnésienne). La coésite, polymorphe de haute pression de la silice, est connue dans certaines paragenèses, ce qui suppose des pressions supérieures à 25 kb [kilobars]. 1, record 2, French, - faci%C3%A8s%20des%20schistes%20blancs
