What are sediments that make up siltstone?

Siltstone is primarily composed of fine-grained particles ranging in size from 1/16 to 1/256 millimeter. These particles are mainly composed of quartz, feldspar, clay minerals, and other minerals like mica and calcite. Siltstone is formed through the consolidation of these particles deposited in low-energy environments such as lakes, lagoons, and deep ocean basins.


What is the density in siltstone?

Silt is a mixture, not a pure substance. The density would depend on the mixture of minerals that make up the silt. Sand (quartz) has a density of about 2.5 g/cm3. If the silt is mostly sand then that would be a good approximation of the density.
