About Granofels
Defined by Robertson (1999) as a granular fine- to coarse-grained granoblastic metamorphic rock with little or no foliation or lineation, usually formed by contact metamorphism.
Previously defined by Goldsmith (1959) as primarily a field name for medium- to coarse-grained, granoblastic, metamorphic rocks without, or with only indistinct, foliation or lineation, and transitional with hornfels in grain size and with gneiss in structure.
