Question

Give the appropriate sedimentary rock names.

Texture Composition Rock Name
Gravel size, angular Quartz and rock fragments
Sand size, poorly sorted Quartz and clay
Mud size, well sorted Clay
Sand size, well sorted Quartz and feldspar
Micritic mud Dolomite
Crinoid ossicles in micrite matrix Calcite
Crystalline Halite

Answer 1

a) Breccia

b) Shaly sand rock

c) Shale

d) sandstone

e) Corbonate rock

f) limestone

g) Rock salt

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Breccia : given that it is made of quartz and rock fragments positioned in angular shape

b) Shaly sand rock : it is made up very small sandy like sediments ( also major composition is quartz and clay

c) Shale : This sedimentary rock is shale because of the nice/fine set up of its mud size sediments/particles

d) sandstone: as seen in its texture and composition

e) Corbonate rock : it is mainly dominated by dolomites

f) Limestone ; It is limestone because limestone is a chemical sedimentary rock that is dominate by calcite

g) Rock salt : It is a Rock salt because of the presence of Halite
