About Me!
MY RO
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
Igneous Rock .. :)
WHERE’D IT COME FROM? It’s Latin for “fire!” cool, right?
CK
WHAT’S YOUR NICKNAME?
Iggy!
WHAT’S YOUR BIRTH STORY? I was actually formed from molten rock. When lava and magma cooled down, I was created!
F O LI
! O
Grain size
More about me: MY FAMILY!
DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS?
Texture Composition
Yes, actually. I have two (I’m the eldest), their names are Intrusive and Extrusive, but I call them Nilie and Xilie!
WHERE DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RESIDE IN? We live in a wide variety of geological settings. But, our favorite spots are those that are the hottest and have volcanic activity! Like magma chambers, faultlines, and even underneath the crust.
Dreams & Goals My older peers and family relatives have all been fundamental parts of infrastructures such as buildings and statues. I want to be like them!
About Me!
It’s Latin for “fire...” hehe
MY RO
WHAT’S YOUR NAME? Intrusive Igneous Rock <3 :) WHERE’D IT COME FROM?
CK
WHAT’S YOUR NICKNAME?
Nilie <3
WHAT’S YOUR BIRTH STORY? I was formed when magma slowly cooled and solidified inside the Earth’s crust!
More about me: MY FAMILY!
DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS?
F O LI
! O
My Dream
Just like my family, I want to be a significant use in different fields like infrastructure, decorations, or even jewelries!
Yes, actually. I have two siblings named Xilie and an older sibling named Iggy!
Trivia about me! WHERE DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RESIDE IN? We are usually seen in locations that has a strong volcanic activity like magma chambers, fault lines, and even the crust! But for me personally, my favorite spot is within the Earth’s crust <3
I am known in our family because of the large sizes of minerals that I have which are visible to the naked eye. This is due to the huge amount of time it took before I was formed!
About Me!
MY RO
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
EXTRUSIVE ROCK!
WHERE’D IT COME FROM? It’s Latin for “fire!” cool, right?
WHAT’S YOUR NICKNAME?
hi im Xelie!!
WHAT’S YOUR BIRTH STORY? I was formed when magma left the volcano (from its eruption) and it cooled down above the Earth’s surface!
CK
F O LI
! O
Unlike Nilie, I formed ON the surface!
More about me: MY FAMILY!
DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS?
Yep!! As you’ve read my siblings’ entries earlier, Iggy and Nilie are my siblings!
WHERE DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RESIDE IN? Like my sibling, Iggy, mentioned, our family resides in those types of environments, wherein there is strong volcanic activity. I’m not really that picky as long as it’s above the surface!
Dreams & Goals Like how I value my beauty and value—I want to be of use in those cosmetic products to enhance and make others even more beautiful!
About Me!
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
MY RO
Sedimentary Rock!
WHERE’D IT COME FROM? I got it from when and how I was formed.
WHAT’S YOUR NICKNAME?
Seddie
WHAT’S YOUR BIRTH STORY?
When a sediment (such as pre-existing rocks or once-living organisms) is buried it becomes compacted and cemented which later on resulted in my formation.
More about me: MY FAMILY!
DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS?
Yes, I am the eldest of three siblings named Cassie, Crystal, and Billie.
WHERE DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RESIDE IN? We love a good place near sources of water! This is because when erosion took place sediments were carried to rivers and were commonly deposited in oceans and lakes.
CK
F O LI
! O
My Dream!
I want to provide resources to people that they can use to improve their lifestyles such as oil, natural gas, and coal !
Fun Fact about me :D Do you know that we are the only rock that contains fossil or any organic matter? Igneous and other rock types don’t have fossils due to their extreme contact with heat which leaves us to be the only one to contain fossils from when we were formed!
About Me!
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
MY RO
I’m Clastic Rock.
WHERE’D IT COME FROM? It comes from “clasts,” which I was made from.
CK
WHAT’S YOUR NICKNAME?
It’s Cassie.
WHAT’S YOUR BIRTH STORY?
I was made from clasts or pieces from pre-existing rocks.
More about me: MY FAMILY!
F O LI
Mostly from old weathered or eroded rocks.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS?
I’m part of the family of the sedimentary rock family: Seddie, Crystal, and Billie.
WHERE DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RESIDE IN? I’m mostly found in melting glaciers, rivers (both fast and slow), lakes, and ocean environments (both shallow and deep).
! O
Fun Fact I’m mostly made up of hard clastic minerals such as quartz.
Dream
In the future, like my other sedimentary peers, I want to be part of the construction industry.
About Me! Crystalline Rock
WHERE’D IT COME FROM? I came from the polymerization and crystallization of minerals!
MY RO
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
CK
WHAT’S YOUR NICKNAME?
Crystal .
WHAT’S YOUR BIRTH STORY?
When chemical reaction occurred due to the mixture of mineral and water, crystals and precipitates were formed, hence, I was born.
More about me: MY FAMILY!
DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS? I have three siblings: Seddie, Cassie, and Billie.
WHERE DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RESIDE IN? We usually stay around places near sources of water such as rivers, lakes, melting glaciers but I typically stay in caves in the form of stalactites.
F O LI
! O
Fun Fact
My grain size is typically fine to coarse crystals.
My goals! I want to be of use like how rock gypsum is used in plasters, rock salt is used in chemical and health industry, and how dolostone is used for insulation.
About Me!
Bioclastic Rock
MY RO
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
WHERE’D IT COME FROM? Like Cassie, my name comes from the process by which I was birthed from.
CK
WHAT’S YOUR NICKNAME?
hey, i’m billie ;)
WHAT’S YOUR BIRTH STORY?
Unlike Cassie, I was not formed from clastics. I am formed from the remains of organisms such as plants or animals.
F O LI
! O
More about me: MY FAMILY!
DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS?
I have three, their names are Seddie, Cassie, and Crystal.
WHERE DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RESIDE IN? Like my family, we are found in marine environments. But most esepcially, since the organisms I was made up of lived in shallow marine water with algae, I am mostly formed in there.
Dream It’s a given that I want to be apart of the infrastructures, like coquina. But, I also want to be a part of those who fuel power plants.
About Me!
Metamorphic Rock :D
MY RO
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
WHERE’D IT COME FROM?
It came from the Greek words meta, "change," and morphe, "form."
WHAT’S YOUR NICKNAME?
Metty :-)
WHAT’S YOUR BIRTH STORY? I was formed under intense heat and pressure from another rock (process is called metamorphism).
MY FAMILY!
I have two siblings: Conny and Regina!
WHERE DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RESIDE IN? My family and I usually live in places that have in(e.g., magma) underground or under the Earth’s surface, or where tectonic plates meet.
F O LI
Goal

CK
! O
Like marble, I want to be a part of something beautiful, like statues, artworks, and other decorative items.
Fun Fact I’m really unique. I’m made up of different minerals compared to other types of rocks. These minerals have a wide variety of color and luster!
CONTACT METAMORPHISM… BOOM
MY RO
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
WHERE’D IT COME FROM? maybe i am called ‘contact’ for i existed after CONTACT with heat ;)
WHAT’S YOUR NICKNAME?
It’s Conny to you!
WHAT’S YOUR BIRTH STORY? well, I was formed under intense heat such as contact to lavA!
CK
F O LI
! O
DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS? You’ve probably read my sibling’s entry, Metty.Check out Regina’s entry later, my other sibling.
WHERE DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RESIDE IN? as I am formed from contact with heat beneath the earth, We are found deep within the Earth such as in volcanoes!
Fun Fact do you know that i produce really cool rocks? Those non-foliated metamorphic rocks such as hornfels, marble, and quartzite!
regional METAMORPHISM… BOOM
MY RO
WHAT’S YOUR NAME?
WHERE’D IT COME FROM? i came from the process of being in contact of high pressures!
CK
WHAT’S YOUR NICKNAME?
call me regina <3
WHAT’S YOUR BIRTH STORY? I was brought to existence by the pressures between convergent plate boundaries!
F O LI
! O
DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS?
yea! I have a sibling and i call her conny. She’s a lil bit hot tempered sometimes. maybe because She’s made from heat XD
WHERE DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RESIDE IN? You can usually see me in places where convergent plate boundaries meet such as beneath new mountain ranges
Fun Fact
I am squashed, or foliated appearance ! Look at my examples such a slate, schist and gneiss. pretty nice, right? ;D
