Banded Rock (likely Quartz-rich)

Uncertain, likely a Metamorphic Rock (e.g., Gneiss or Schist) with prominent Quartz and other minerals

Sandstone (with Concretion)

Arenite / Quartzose Sandstone

Bauxite

Bauxite (principal ore of aluminum, primarily Al(OH)3)

Gneiss

Gneiss

Granodiorite

Granodiorite (containing Quartz, Plagioclase Feldspar, Biotite, and Hornblende)

Biotite Schist

Biotite Schist

Chert Breccia (Yellow Jasper)

Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) - Brecciated Chert

Green Apophyllite and Stilbite on Quartz Cluster

Banded Gneiss (River Rock/Pebble)

Gneiss (specifically a banded variety often found as a river rock)

Granite

Pebble (likely a type of sandstone or quartzite pebble)

Clastic Sediment (specifically, a rudite-sized clast). If the pebble is composed of a specific rock type, its scientific name would be that rock type (e.g., 'Quartzite pebble', 'Granite pebble', 'Chert pebble'). Given its appearance, it is likely a metamorphic quartzite pebble or a hard sandstone pebble.
