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

[...] une argile [...] subit avec plus ou moins d’intensité l'action du métamorphisme. Ceci se traduit par une déshydratation progressive, la perte des propriétés de l'argile(plasticité, porosité), puis la formation de minéraux nouveaux à partir des constituants de la roche en même temps qu'apparaît la schistosité. La suite des faciès ainsi obtenus, en supposant que la recristallisation s’effectue sans apport étranger à la roche originelle [...], constitue la séquence argileuse ou séquence pélitique. 3, record 2, French, - s%C3%A9rie%20argileuse
