Story of Phyllite
I am going to tell the story about phyllite. Phyllite started as an igneous rock. It was most likely turned into a sedimentary rock such as mud by weathering and deposition. It was compressed into shale. The shale went to metamorphism with heat and pressure turning it into the metamorphic rock slate. Slate was metamorphed into phyllite with various amounts of biotite minerals.
