	Answer given 47 days 2 hours ago. Answer Rated 100% complete by infogirl^(62,201). I think you have confused the terminology. Gneiss refers to weathered granite and clastic is a broad term refering to rocks composed of fragments, or clasts, of pre-existing rocks. On that basis a gneiss clastic would be a rock formed from eroded or weathered fragments of granitic rocks. Granite is, of course, an igneous rock formed by extreme heat and pressure. It is therefore a 'chemical' or mineral form of deposit and definitely not organic. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clastic and http://freefactfinder.com/definition/Gniess.html ► Milander^(37,080) (Comment on this)
