Fubarite

Fubarite is an informal name and in-joke in geology for any rock that has been severely brecciated and metamorphosed to the point that it is difficult or impossible to determine its origin.[1][2][3] The name is a word play with the acronym FUBAR, which means "fucked up beyond all recognition".[4]

The change can be small (slate is simply shale that has been cooked for a few millennia), or it can be so dramatic you can't tell what the original material was (sometimes known as fubarite = “fudged up beyond all recognition”)!
