The WinRock Database is a petrographic database of over 300 igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. Each rocktype contains a petrographic summary consisting of Rock Name, Group, Family, Texture, Structure, Composition, Occurrence and Comments. The descriptions have been standardized using standard petrographic terms. Searches can be done on individual or multiple fields using partial or complete key words. The composition field can be searched with up to three minerals simultaneously.
