Sandstone
Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sandsized ( to 2 mm) silie grains. Sandstones comprise about 20–25% of all sedimentary rocks.. Most sandstone is composed of quartz or feldspar (both silies) because they are the most resistant minerals to weathering processes at the Earth's surface, as seen in the Goldich dissolution series.
