RR8: Metamorphosed Redbeds

Title: RR8: Metamorphosed Redbeds
Description: Hand Sample: Metamorphosed Redbed with alternating light and dark banding. Sample is too fine grained to clearly make out minerals in hand sample, but light bands are likely dominated by quartz.

Thin section: Major compositional differences between light and dark bands. Light bands have large grains of quartz, predominately. Dark bands have a brown groundmass with some small quartz grains.
