If the rock was originally banded or foliated ( as, for example, a laminated sandstone or a foliated calc-schist ) this character may not be obliterated, and a banded hornfels is the product ; fossils even may have their shapes preserved, though entirely recrystallized, and in many contact-altered lavas the vesicles are still visible, though their contents have usually entered into new combinations to form minerals that were not originally present.

They are the margins of the great sandstone plateaus, from 300 to 600 m elevation above sea-level, through which the rivers have eroded their deep beds.

For instance, the Ridge and Valley, which lies in the northwest corner of the state, includes limestone, sandstone, shale and other sedimentary rocks, which have yielded construction-grade limestone, barite, ocher and small amounts of coal.
