As you might guess, mono- means "one", so a monomict breccia is made up of one busted-up rock. A polymict breccia is thus made up of pieces from more than one source rock. > Also how does one pronounce enstatite. Emphasis is on the first syllable, with a lesser accent on the third syllable: en' - stuh - tight' Cheers, Rob ------_=_NextPart_001_01C1F84C.A78CCCB0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.3315.2870" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=659220018-10052002>Hi All,</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=659220018-10052002></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=659220018-10052002>Jay Haynes was curious about the definition of "monomict" (as in</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=659220018-10052002>monomict breccia).
