grain arrangement

type of rock before metamorphosis

The characteristic that is mainly used to identify types of metamorphic rocks are  

Foliation

Grain arrangement (somehow further classify)

Explanation:

There are two basic types of metamorphic rocks  

1)Foliated     2) non foliated  

Foliated rocks are formed after exposure to extreme heat and pressure and will result in a parallel arrangement and banded appearance. Examples of foliated rocks are phyllite, schist, and slate

Non foliated rocks do not have a layered or banded shape. No foliated rocks are formed in those conditions where the temperature is high but the pressure is low.  

marble and quartzite are examples for non-foliated metamorphic rocks.  

Grain arrangement inside the rocks also classify the foliated arrangement further  

Fine grained and coarse grained metamorphosis

just here for the other one bc they put up with u

i think that is new experiments yield untrustworthy data and should be carefully considered, because you don't know what will happen with the experiments.
