Fine-grained dark igneous rock, possibly basalt
Basalt (tentative; composition cannot be confirmed from the image)
Shale
Fissile Mudstone (primarily composed of clay minerals and quartz)
Iron-rich rock fragment, possibly hematite-rich ironstone
Likely hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) or iron-oxide-cemented rock; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Weathered layered metamorphic rock, likely schist or phyllite
Micaceous quartz–feldspar schist/phyllite; exact identification requires a fresh surface and testing
Fossil-bearing rock, possibly with a fossilized shell or coralline specimen
Indeterminate fossil in sedimentary matrix; precise identification is not possible from the image
Mica-rich schist (likely biotite schist)
Mica schist, composed chiefly of quartz and mica; exact minerals cannot be confirmed from the image
