Facies are your facial expressions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facies), which can indicate conditions such as Williams syndrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_syndrome) and other forms of mental retardation. Coarse facies, in particular, are often associated with mental retardation. Coarse facies simply means that the facial expressions are coarse, which could represent congenital hypothyroidism (http://bdoza.blogspot.com/2008/12/casecongenital-hypothyroidism.html) or spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (http://www.nature.com/ejhg/journal/v13/n5/fig_tab/5201339f1.html). Coarse facies, while often associated with mental retardation, is not the sole indicator, however, and other tests should be run as well.

Which of the following metamorphic facies are characteristic of burial metamorphism?

What is a hydrochemical facies in hydrogeology?
A hydrochemical facies in hydrogeology refers to a distinct group of water samples with similar chemical compositions. These facies are used to classify groundwater based on their major ion concentrations, providing insights into the geochemical processes and water-rock interactions occurring in the subsurface. By studying hydrochemical facies, hydrogeologists can better understand groundwater quality, flow patterns, and sources of contamination.
What is Latin for face?
Facies (genitive: faciei, f).
