Sandstone, as its name implies, is composed of many small grains of sand loosely held together. You may be able to rub some off with your hand. The grains will be small and there will be spaces between the grains. Granite on the other hand is formed from the melt underground, and has crystallized there. The crystals will be larger - up to cm size - and firmly bound. [Except if the granite is badly weathered.]

If a sandstone in contact with a granite contains fragments of the granite what can you infer?
If a sandstone in contact with a granite contains fragments of the granite, it suggests that the granite is older than the sandstone. The presence of granite fragments indicates that the granite was likely eroded and its material was transported and deposited to form the sandstone. This relationship can also imply that geological processes, such as weathering and erosion, played a significant role in shaping the landscape between the two rock types.
How does change granite into sandstone?

A layer of sandstone is in contact with a mass of granite The granite contains small pieces of the sandstone Which rock is older?
