The Dakota Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formation that was deposited during the Cretaceous period, approximately 100 million years ago. The water necessary for the deposition of the sand grains in the Dakota Sandstone would have come from a variety of sources, including rivers, lakes, and coastal environments that existed in the region during that time.

What does sandstone aquifer mean?
A sandstone aquifer is a geological formation composed primarily of sandstone that contains and transmits groundwater. Sandstone aquifers can store and supply significant amounts of water and are often used as sources of drinking water or for irrigation purposes due to their permeability and porosity.
Is sandstone pink?
Sandstone can come in various colors, including pink. Pink sandstone is commonly found in regions where iron oxide is present, giving it a pink hue. However, not all sandstone is pink; it can also appear in shades of brown, yellow, red, and gray.
Name a rock that absorbs water?
Sandstone is a type of rock that can absorb and retain water within its pores and crevices.
Why does clay swell more than sandstone?
When you add water to clay you will notice more swelling than you will when adding water to sandstone. This is due to clay being more permeable than sandstone. This allows clay to absorb and retain water at a quicker rate.
Which is harder sandstone shale or limestone?
"The two basic rocks found in the Mammoth Cave area are limestone and sandstone. Limestone is the "soft" rock (more water soluble) that is dissolved more easily by water. Sandstone and shale are the rocks that are on top of the cave. They are "harder" (less water soluble) and don't let the water soak into the cave." http://www.nps.gov/archive/maca/learnhome/cur_k3_cla.htm

What is North Dakota's water resource?

Can sandstone float or sink?
Sandstone typically sinks in water due to its high density and composition. However, factors like porosity and air pockets within the sandstone can affect its buoyancy, making it possible for some sandstone to float in water under specific conditions.
