One well-known area of natural pyrometamorphic rocks is the Hatrurim Formation with outcrops all around the Dead Sea Basin: in the Negev Desert in Israel, in the Judaean Desert on the West Bank, and in western Jordan.
Xenoliths of sedimentary rocks trapped in volcanic lava may undergo pyrometamorphic transformation, as can some contact wallrocks.
Anthropogenic pyrometamorphic rocks are found in burning coal-mining dumps (red shales).
Oxide minerals include corundum, hematite, hercynite, magnesioferrite, and magnetite.
Some rare minerals typical of meteorites, like oldhamite, are also found in pyrometamorphic rocks.
