Bookmark or Share- Sandstone | Composition, Properties, Formation, Uses - Geology ScienceSandstone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized mineral particles or rock fragments. Sandstone can be classified based on composition (e.g. quartz arenite, arkose, lithic sandstone) and texture (e.g. well-sorted, poorly sorted, conglomeratic).
- Sandstone: Identification, Pictures & Info for RockhoundsSandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock made from medium sized grains (1/4 to 2 mm). These grains are fragments of other rocks or minerals, bound together by cement. Depending on the variety of sandstone, the grains may range from poorly sorted to well sorted. Likewise, the grains may be rounded or angular.
- Sandstone: definition and characteristics | Dedalo StoneSandstone is a sedimentary rock of great geological importance and interest. Known for its composition of grains of sand cemented together, sandstone offers a wide range of characteristics and applications.
- Sandstone | Sedimentary, Clastic, Quartz | BritannicaSandstone, lithified accumulation of sand-sized grains (0.063 to 2 mm [0.0025 to 0.08 inch] in diameter). It is the second most common sedimentary rock after shale, constituting about 10 to 20 percent of the sedimentary rocks in the Earth’s crust.
- Sandstone: Types, Formation, Classification, Uses – Geology InSandstone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized (0.0625 to 2 mm) silicate grains. It is one of the most common sedimentary rocks, making up about 20–25% of all sedimentary rocks. Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock, meaning it's formed from cemented pieces of other rocks and minerals.
