Presentation Transcript

  1. Examples of Clastic Texture Both examples consist of inorganic clasts

  2. Clastic Texture Sandstone

  3. Example of Clastic Texture Example of bioclastic texture

  4. Clastic Texture Fine particle size makes it difficult to identify clastic or crystalline texture

  5. Examples of Crystalline Texture Both categories of texture are difficult to identify as the particle size becomes smaller.

  6. See the lab handout for how we’ll • identify our unknown samples.

  7. Sedimentary Rocks • To completely name sedimentary rocks, geologists often write the minerals found in the rock (least – most abundant) prior to the rock name • As an example: quartz – potassium feldspar sandstone
