The color of a sandstone does not necesarily say anything about its age.
If the sandstone is below the basalt layer, it is older. Though caution is advised, to make sure it is really a basalt layer and not an intrusion of gabbro. Other indicators that the sandstone is older is evidence of alteration to the sandstone where the two meet (called a "baked contact") and pieces of sandstone being found in the the basalt.
Yes, it is.
The sandstone layer is older than the basalt. The older rock cannot be on top of the younger rock. The sandstone and the basalt (or basalt dike) are both deposited at the same depth.
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.
The common name for sandstone - is sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed from grains of sand.
sandstone is usually like a tannish or brown color.
Sandstone can be in any color, but is mostly found in tan, brown, yellow, red, gray, and white.dunno probz brown or orange x
They are made of stones (such as sandstone) so they are a sandy, tan, brown color!
A light brown rock is commonly referred to as sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed of sand-sized minerals or rock grains. It ranges in color from light brown to tan.
A brown stone is often referred to as sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized mineral particles or rock fragments. It typically ranges in color from brown to tan.
Sandstone is a tan or light brown color. It is a mixture of all three primary colors, red, yellow, and blue. One can either start with lighter tones of these colors, or add white to the brown to lighten it up. More red can be added if desired.
I think it's coat will become lighter.It's obvious when you think about genetics. The mother is white, and the father is tan, which equals when he is older that he will be tan.

Sandstone, there were 3 types found: yellow-brown sandstone, red sandstone, and greywacke (which is a hard sandstone)
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock made up of sand-sized mineral particles (usually quartz) cemented together. It typically has a granular texture and can range in color from white, tan, and yellow to red and brown. Sandstone often contains visible grains of sand and varying levels of porosity.
tan :)
The closest color to brown is tan. Tan is a light brown color with a yellow undertone.
