What are th lithological and mineralogical studies of bholari sand stone?

The lithological study of Bholari sandstone would involve examining its grain size, texture, and sedimentary structures. Meanwhile, mineralogical studies would analyze the composition of minerals present in the sandstone, which could include quartz, feldspar, and clay minerals. These studies help to understand the origin, depositional environment, and diagenetic history of the Bholari sandstone.


What are two possible environments for the origin of the sedimentary rock sandstone.?

Terrestrial environmentsRivers (levees, point bars, channel sands)Alluvial fansGlacial outwashLakesDeserts (sand dunes and ergs)Marine environmentsDeltasBeach and shoreface sandsTidal flatsOffshore bars and sand wavesStorm deposits (tempestites)Turbidites (submarine channels and fans)


What type of rock can fossils occur in?

Fossils can occur in sedimentary rocks, which are formed from the accumulation of sediment over time. This type of rock is conducive to fossil preservation because it's composed of layers that can trap and protect organic remains. Examples include limestone, shale, and sandstone.


What is the similarities between sedimentary rocks of chemical origin and those of organic origin?

Chemical sedimentary rocks precipitate from solution. Organic is a subsection of chemical and includes limestone and coal, detrital, or clastic, are detritus, or fragments, of other rocks (e.g., sandstone). ChaCha on!


Do sedimentary rocks form from the remains of living things?

Some sedimentary rocks are formed at least partially of the remains of living things, but many are not. Fossil-rich rocks, coal, and some types of limestone are composed partly of the remains of organisms. Clastic sedimentary rocks such as shale and sandstone are made from sediment that has weathered out of pre-existing rock.

What type of rock is lystone and sandstone?

There is no such ting as "lystone" Sandstone is a sedimentary rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock of organic origin.


Is limestone classified as a granite or a sandstone?

Limestone is not classed as either a granitoid or a sandstone rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock, either chemically precipitated or bioclastic in origin. Granite is a plutonic igneous rock, and sandstone, although sedimentary, is formed from the cementation of sand-sized particles of eroded rock.

What is Puddingstone made of?

Puddingstone is a sedimentary rock composed of conglomerate. It has not been metamorphosed. By studying the members of the conglomerate, one may deduce a possible origin.


What kinds of rocks did the sand come from at Great Sand Dunes?

Sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks of sedimentary origin.


What mean by provenance of sedimentary rock?

The word provenance means origin or birth that is start from where the sedimentary rocks are formed.

Which rock has many layers?

Sedimentary rock.Or more in geology and related fields, a stratum (plural: strata) is a layer of rock or soil with internally consistent characteristics that make it different it from contiguous layers either side of it. Each layer is generally one of a number of parallel layers that lie one upon another, laid down by natural forces.A sedimentary rock is one form of rock that can be stratified, but there are other examples of strata that are not sedimentary on origin (e.g. a layered igneous body or a flood basalt).


In what type of rocks could you find fossils?

Fossils are principally found in sedimentary rocks and also in some metamorphic rocks of sedimentary origin.
