Metamorphic Rocks of Ring Mountain, Tiburon. At only 602 feet in elevation, Ring Mountain is hardly a mountain. But it is well known to geologist and biologist alike because of its unusual geology and the unique plants that grow in the serpentine soils on the Tiburon peninsula. Serpentine is a metamorphic rock: a rock changed by heat and pressure. The high concentration of magnesium and calcium in the soils is usually toxic to plants, but some rare plants thrive [see: http://www.marin.cc.ca.us/~jim/ring/rplant.html].
There are two basic types of metamorphic rocks. Foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, phyllite, schist, and slate have a layered or banded appearance that is produced by exposure to heat and directed pressure.late is a foliated metamorphic rock that is formed through the metamorphism of shale. It is a low grade metamorphic rock that splits into thin pieces. The specimen shown above is about two inches (five centimeters) across. Schist is metamorphic rock with well developed foliation.
